I thought I should tell people why I love rugby so much.
- America can’t beat us ;).
- Every supporter thinks his Unions’ player is better for the position. Bulls (Spies), Sharks (Kanko), Lions (Alberts) and WP (Watson).
- All supporters are “eenoogig”.
- You and your best buddy can argue for hours.
- You can have banter with people you have never met.
- You get the chance to play a predicting game with people all over the world.
- Everybody (don’t argue) likes to blame the ref.
- Every position is unique.
- We get to support against each other today, tomorrow we all support our country.
- You can talk about a game for years after is has been played.
This is 10 of my top reasons. Please feel free to add to the list.
3.1 And to protect that one eye you can wear tinted glasses.(blue or striped most popular)
Humor in rugby comes through ages , i bet this comes from a time even Pietman does not know about.

Rugby Humor site i found

Traveling in a train were a Wallaby, an All Black, a spectacular looking blonde and an older lady. After several minutes of the trip, the train happens to pass through a dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. When they leave the tunnel, the Wallaby had a big red slap mark on his cheek.
(1) The blonde thought – “That horrible Wallaby wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have put his hand on the lady, who in turn must have slapped his face.”
(2) The older lady thought – “This dirty Wallaby laid his hands on the blonde and she smacked him.”
(3) The Wallaby thought – “That bloody All Black put his hand on that blonde and by mistake she slapped me.”
(4) The All Black thought – “I hope there’s another tunnel soon so I can smack that stupid Wallaby again.”

Must be a All Black site, far too many Wallaby jokes.
An Australian schoolteacher explains to her class that she is a Wallabies fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Wallabies fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand expect one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, “Janie, why didn’t you raise your hand?” “Because I’m not a Wallabies fan,” she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Well, if you are not a Wallabies fan, then who are you a fan of?” “I am an All Blacks fan, and proud of it,” Janie replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie, why are you an All Blacks fan?” “Because my mum is an All Blacks fan, and my dad is an All Blacks fan, so I’m an All Blacks fan too!” “Well,” said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, “That is no reason for you to be an All Blacks fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum were a moron and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?” “Then,” Janie smiled, “I’d be a Wallabies fan.”
With that back to bed :clock:
– Good reason to wake up early on a Saturday.
– Justifies to the wife why it’s okay to start drinking before 12.
– I can dress up my kids in rugby gear. They look so cute.
– Brings like minded rugger buggers together in the grand spirit of the game.
– It unites people that would not normally been seen together on any other social level.
– Braai, rugby, sunny skies and half naked chicks in the pool.
Die jong kerel kom by oom Piet op die plaas om daar te werk. Oom Piet vra
wat sy naam is waarop hy sę dat almal hom Spyker noem. Oom Piet vra vir
Spyker om vir hom gou twee tange in die kombuis te gaan haal, hy het dit
daar vergeet. So
gemaak, kom Spyker in die kombuis aan en sien dat oom Piet twee baie
aanvallige en sexy dogters het wat daar sit en koffie drink. Hy gesels toe
so bietjie met hulle. Hy sę dat hulle pa het gesę hy moet hulle gou kom
“regsien”. Hulle wil hom toe nie glo nie waarop hy sę dat hy sal hulle
oortuig. Hulle moet net by die venster staan en luister. Spyker loop toe tot
op die stoep en skeeu aan oom Piet “Oom Piet, een of altwee?” Waarop oom
Piet terug antwoord: “Nee Spyker altwee!…
😀 :-)) 😀 :laugh: :chic: 😎
7@Tripples –

Soccer is a game played by gentleman, and watched by hooligans.
Rugby is a game played by hooligans, and watched by gentleman. :mean:
@isigidi – Not at Loftus!! 🙂
@K9-MonsterLeeu – My laaitie was Sat op Loftus. Hy kuier by sy ma vir vakansie en die se nuwe liefde het hom gaan wys hoe lyk Loftus.
Hy’t my mooi laat verstaan hy skree vir niemand daar nie en is net daar om die stadium te sien.
My vertel van die oom agter hom wat gevloek het op die ref, hele game lank.
@isigidi – as hy mooi opgelet het sou hy gesien het dit was eintlik die ou se vrou……sy klink maar net so.

Knyp die coolbox vas tussen haar gebarste hakke met die diep swart vore
Why I love Rugby:
A lousy game of rugby televised on a Friday night beats any of the reality shows that are broadcast.
Rugby brings you friends from all over the world
A lousy game of rugby is better than the best game of soccer
Rugby celebrates both the team and the individual
I could go on and on, but to me rugby is the best sport in the world :laugh:
SAB & K9
