Replying To bláthach: "I agree. Rugby reminds me of something you'd do on a stag weekend. Bunch of lads running into each other looking for a bit of leather, could be an auld welly even. When they get it they fling it out to a lad stood behind them and the whole process starts again. Whoever gets over the opposite line first wins.
An odd time the lad could draw a boot on the thing and drive it up in the air and it'd nearly come down on his head. Or he'd boot it over the sideline and another lad throws it up between two rows where fella hoist each other up trying to catch.
Be a class weekend at that on a stag. Sounds great craic but not much skill involved."
Id like to see you turn up to Carricks preseason next month and say that to them. See how far you get

Oh sure it is a very boring sport, leathering the ball over the sideline out of play and people cheering it and not in an ironic way. You wouldn't see the like at a junior b game at 11am on a Sunday morning.
