The slower, more commercial-packed version of Rugby where all of the players feel the need to wear body armour and helmets celebrated its terrible version of the Six Nations yesterday, where one of the teams probably won; we didnt stay up to watch because were not insane and we didnt even bother looking up the teams involved because we dont care.
Go superbowl! said an American. This American Football cup final was the most American Footballest of all. What a spectacle. Im sure you will be watching that team take on the other team just as I shall be, and enjoying the halftime show performance by someone-or-other.
Whats this rugby game yall have? Is it slow and boring like soccer or do you stop for an advert every four minutes like in proper sports?
Rugby player, Jay Cooper, said, If I rocked up to practice wearing shoulder pads Id get knocked out, and rightly so.

I'll agree - I'd rather watch rugby.

so too is the sport an excuse for the advertisements and the kitchy, pseudo-patriotic spectacle.
