Stumpy 284 #26 September 4, 2013 CanuckInUSA ***I reckon Rugby league players would walk all over both of them. Rugby League? Don't you mean Rugby Union players? Rugby is a tough sport, it's a great sport. But those MotoGP guys are tough Mofos. How many people do you know who will break bones and yet still yet on the bikes to compete in a race? Even the Rugby players get taken off the pitch when they get hurt. PS: never got into Rugby League. Too weird having to give the ball up. Rugby Union is where it is at. I play union, and prefer to watch it but the league players are a whole different level of hard. As for playing on? http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/8622658/Kiwi-Sam-McKendry-played-on-with-broken-neck Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorrinRadd 0 #28 September 4, 2013 My high school had a championship rugby team. Two of the guys kept playing after ruptured spleens. They probably shouldn't have, but all they knew was that they wanted to win and that a bit of pain wasn't going to stop them.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

League is to union like NFL is to college football. (Now this is an argument I can really get into!!) Not true - two very different games. Professional players cross in both directions between codes - personally I prefer to watch union, much more flowing and interesting in general, but the league players are hard men. It used to be the case that League >>> union in terms of level and professionalism, but not since the "amateur" game went pro.Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #30 September 4, 2013 QuoteLeague is to union like NFL is to college football. You have the two mixed up. Obviously League also has their championships, but not on the same level as the various Union championships. Union has the World Cup which gets big time TV coverage (big time coverage every where except the USA of course), League has the Six Nations, the Tri Nations, the Heineken Cup, Super Rugby clubs and the various British, French and other European club level competitions. I don't see a League World Cup event that gets the same sort of high profile TV coverage that the Union World Cup gets. Not to get too derailed with all this Rugby talk and keeping on a Canadian somewhat topic, Rugby is one of the sports where Canada is still better than the USA ... haha ... as the Canada's national Union team has a 34-12-1 record against their US counterparts. Of course Canada and the USA are not even in the ball park when it comes to the All Blacks, Springboks and Wallabies. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How racist are they actually trying to be? Ok - here we can keep it here now.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
