Have you seen the shocking way England are playing(or not) rugby at the moment.

This is the worst I have seen , it is 27-3 against and the first half is still in progress.

:thumbsup: Just giving New Zealand a early lead don't worry its part of the game plan :rolleyes:

Don`t think it`s a game plan I think it`s terrible.

The pain is iver and they could not get more than 3 points what a waste of time for all those that got up early to watch.
They had better try next time.

FINAL SCORE NEW Z 36 ENGLAND 3

It's just rugby's way of warming up the soccer fans for the embarrassment ahead:thumbsup:

:o Rugby is a game played by men with funny shaped balls...:thumbsup: embarrassed how easy we beat France markham well said

and soccer is played by 'men' with NO balls!!!!!!:thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Its a good job we play football then

You never watched 'Soccer Sunday' on ITV then?:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: no i watch football focus on BBC1

I would rather watch Rugby than Football.

Rugby is played by men especially Gentleman, Football is played by want to be men who for the most are not gentlemen.

Rugby is hard work and they don`t fling themselves on the floor and act like women but footballers do.

Football is too overpaid and too overwatched.

Rugby is the GAME to watch, even when England loose it was still a good game.

England rugby players know the national anthem and play for their country, England Footballers don`t sing and most of the time dont play.

:thumbsup: A question for ya Rosie why would women fling themselves to the floor? Yes Rugby is a great game but it will never replace football or soccer in markham's case ;) as the number one watched sport in this fine land of ours.

A million cheers for rosie:thumbsup:

You forgot to remind 'em that Rugby is short for Rugby Football, and Soccer is short for Association Football. Hence Rugby and Soccer.

Soccer players.....

a. Fall down a lot
b. Take drugs
c. Cheat
d. Have low I.Q.s
e. Are overpaid
f. Love themselves
g. etc.etc.etc.

Rugby players......

a. Play rugby:thumbsup:

Too much money goes into Football and for what reason when over the last year what have they achieved.

Women chuck themselves on the floor and lift their t-shirts up for film stars, pop stars etc, so do football players but why.

That's because it doesn't take a lot of brainpower to appreciate a game of soccer (football).

Example = Millwall

:thumbsup: In 38 years time will people still be talking about England winning the Rugby World Cup i think not.

Oh I think people will remember when England won the Rugby World Cup, because when did the England Football team win anything that mattered since 1966.

:thumbsup: But people still talk about 66 and will do forever..where were the St George flags when England played in the final at rugby?

Nearly all my neighbourhood has a flag or flags flying for Euro 2004 either out of windows or on their cars.

Rugby is for middle class people and football spans all classes
