so your liking of Rugby because it isn't like 'soccer'

is going to be dampened by it becoming more like 'soccer' (multi-cultural, true game of the people, the 'raw ferocity' of 'soccer' crowds)

:-P

anyway OG, i think you'll find my main objection to your rugby-loving ways was based on your belief that it could be put on a par with football in the level of skill shown by the world's best players

and my main objection to rugby in general (same goes for cricket) is based on the hypothosis that a sucessful English rugby team will steal potential top-class youngsters from other sports - namely football. and with all the crap that comes with the FA's 90 minutes travelling time, if just one promising Norfolk footballer is lost to the black art of egg-chasing, that is one possible Chris Sutton too many
