Thought this was appropriate. Just getting ready to off load the tin
lids and get down to the MCG with the missus.

Go you good thing.....

I prefer the version that's played with shoulder pads and a helmet :-)



Ditto.
you haven't seen enough rugby union / rugby league
all you need is a mouthguard, a pair of shorts, a jersey and a set of six
studded boots for the turf.

rules are simple in both games: pass the ball back, run it forward, can't
propel the ball forward with your hands, only tackle the man with the
ball.
If a try is scored, the conversion goal kick is taken up field from where
the try is scored, not right in front of the sticks. 6 tackles in RL
(downs)
unlimited in RU. No need to change for a defensive side. the fullback
drops
back in defense, comes froward in attack.

80 minutes of hard, fast runing, passing kiks in play and ball handling
skills.

go the tigers.

I've watched some rugby. Those dudes are just amazing athletes. Quite a
feat of stamina and endurance besides the skills you describe. Wish I had
1/1000th of that.

Played it at school, keeps you fit in the winter months ;-). You learn to
take a knock or two and give it back, swing a few, and cop a few.

Australia vs New Zealand Rugby League match April 2007

We beat NZ 20 - 15 in Rugby Union tonight which is always a feat for Aus -
union is the national game in NZ not Rugby League.
