I dunno... the Rugby gang are a bunch of tough sob's no doubt... but the Canadians get to use STICKS (and they REALLY know how to use em), and those skates can give you a nasty cut. And if the hockey players don't get you, they've got the CFL to fall back on (reserve forces)... those guys get to wear PADS. Of course the Rugby players will say that "real men don't wear pads" and therefore they're just plain tougher than the CFL guys... but that doesn't make it any easier to pop a guy upside the head when he has a big padded helmet on. At least with the Hockey players it'll be a fair fight because they'll throw off all their protective gear just as the fight starts.

They both know how to make a good brew... so there's no strategic beer advantage, both sides would be good and blown away before any real rukus started.

And they're both always up for a good party... so whoever wins, the after-war party will be one hell of a blowout.

I'd have to give the nod to whoever had home field advantage, let me know when tickets go on sale [img]smile.gif[/img] .
