Rugby...the game they play in heaven

Originally posted by Memnoch: Some of those union forwards are pretty bloody tough, but I think the league forwards have it over them in terms of fitness. League forwards have to do a lot more tackling and hitting the ball up than union forwards, who need to be good at scrummaging and rucking as well as lineouts. The NZ haka is pretty awesome to watch, though ultimately futile (I welcome responses from Azurewolf on this topic. ) How come you know about union Caleb? What's your Kiwi connection?

Ack dont remind me my dads a kiwi and will take every chance he gets to say how much better the new zealand way is compared to america the "bloody punks" MOVE BACK THERE IF ITS SO DAMN GOOD is what I have to say! all I saw when we went there were sheep upon sheep and everything closes early!

I forgot to add when I was a young kid and watched him and his rugby team start to lose and decide to win the fight thats when I learned the beauty of rugby and now he watches the local games and complains of those dirty cheating lifters when he wasnt adverse to giving the occasional elbow while running

Caleb, so you're half kiwi? The Land of the Long White Cloud...where men are men...and sheep are nervous.

Can West Australia play Rugby or what. Locals are raving that their effort against the Lions was the best from the locals in many a year. It was the first time they have scored a try against a touring side in 20 years, and the first time ever that they have scored two tries in a game against tourists. This new breed of British Lion must really SUCK (ducks quickly to avid hand grenades from Antonius and Donut) .

Yeah, I am from Lancashire and we prefer league up here.

Especially when you have two teams like Wigan and St.Helens.

+ The Lions beat some SW Austrailia 126-10 didnt they?or something like that.!

When was the last time another team put over 100 points past them?

Also, how many of the players on the pitch will make the full test side?
(This assumes they don't all get injured first - which at the moment seems likely).

In answer to those last two questions, no one fails to score less than 80 points against them (WA rugby side), I think you beat the 95 points (to nil)that South Africa scored against them last year though - and none of those who played for West Australia stand a snowflakes chance in hell of playing for the Wallabies. They wouldn't make up the 3rds for a proper State team like Queensland or the ACT. A better analogy would be the Lions playing Belgium (no offense to Belgians, but that is about the standard we are talking here). West Australia plays Australian Football, but not very well at present, because my beloved Brisbane Lions beat the Weagles tonight - WOOHOO - celebration time.
