Shame on you all, that an Israeli has to be England's most vocal supporter in the International Freestyle - Rugby Championship thread, against all the Belgians and other 'insignificants' who support South Africa!
Come lend a hand, or are you just trying to prepare your excuses for a defeat?
Hrrumph!

we are just preparing our excuses for a defeat.
1) That bloke runs nearly as fast as a cheetah.
2) Their blokes are bigger and uglier than ours.
3) Johnny Wilkinson appears to be wearing his shoes on the wrong feet.
Anyone else ?

That one is FREESTYLE!
Gimp!
...and what does national pride has to do with the type of sports? Maybe the British army should defend only those who live from Oxfordshire southward?
Go support your country, even if you do not support the sport.
Sorry about the outburst... :) some kids need to learn about what's right. *shrug*

Having a tough day?
Believe me, I have tried to enjoy rugby and cricket for that matter, I just don't get it. It has nothing to do with national pride or patriotism. I was there when they paraded through London with the cup last time (funnily enough, that is south of Oxfordshire) although it was right outside my office. I will also watch the match on the pub telly and shout, and thoroughly enjoy myself, but as for rugby itself, I have resigned myself to never really getting into it. I am pretty sure both me and England as a whole will be OK with that; maybe you should too.

yep, that's pretty much where I am with rugby aswell. Like most toff sports, the natural flow of the game has been compromised by too many silly interjections like scrums and line-outs.
The chances are, where someone in the 18th century tried to do something different with in the game, instead of saying "you can't do that, it's not in the rules", they compromised around it and built it into the rules. Probably because the player could have had the ref shot or was 14th in line to the throne or was rogering the biggest boy at eton or something.

You aren't a League man, are you. 16 stone men lying on top of each other frotting against the ground? Not my bag, baby.
I'm not a rugby man. Football flows in a way that neither of those games can acheive.

They are inherently different games, though. Does anything flow like football? Most sports are pretty stop-start. From NFL down to table tennis and bowls. Gives us armchair fans a chance to hit the fridge for a beer.
I always had the impression your beer didn't a chance to hit the fridge...
Well, yeah. I usually leave the Ace in a bag at the side of the sofa.
Didn't some bloke have a plug in carrier/chiller on Dragon's Den for just such a situation?
I'd say that decent rallies in a game of tennis do flow like decent passages of play in a game of football.
especially on Wii. Now I am an uberpro some rallies last all night!
