Any, serious, rugby fans on here? Season starts tonight and I wondered if anyone is running a fantasy league on SUPERBRU that I can join?
I'm a season ticker holder at Bears. :thumbs:

Scotland women giving sa women a lesson live on rugby pass.com now..
And a nice game winning try from my niece lisa thomson to seal a 31-17 win for the fair maidens of scotland.
Grand final tomorrow
Wigan Warriors vs Catalans Dragon's from Old Trafford
Tough one to call. But I've said all year that Catalans are gonna win it. So I'm gonna stick with them.

Good luck to both sides, may the best on the day emerge victorious.

Your game is played by the posh boy office workers that drink shandy and our game is played by the working class butchers that drink jugs of bitter.

Could never get into rugby league. Tried watching the world cup (last year I think) but it was painful.
Could never get into rugby league. Tried watching the world cup (last year I think) but it was painful.Sadly. They're isn't much money in the game. Only England could could compete with the Australasian countries at the moment.
In this country it's so hard to compete with football. That dominates. Then Cricket is also difficult to compete with nationally. Then we have to compete with Rugby Union. And with Rugby league being a predominantly Northern sport. Then we can't compete with them in the advertising arena.
In Sydney Australia. Rugby league is like football here. It's not only back page news but also front page news.
We're currently trying to slowly tap into the American market. I think the Americans would love it. Because it's not to dissimilar a game to American football. But far more brutal.
I suggest you visit Hull to watch a Hull Derby one time. You'll be amazed by what you witness. One of the great sporting events in the country you could attend.

Admittedly the young farmers institution has a lot of impact on the game.
But that's mostly your university teams like heriot watt and Stewart's Melville. Your local teams like we have in the borders is pretty similar to the north of england league set up where local lads(electricians, joiners etc)play for local teams.
Inly difference during my growing up was the posh league boys having the cash to plunder our towns best roofers..like taity.

How is if that rugby players get battered , flattened , dropped on , elbowed , kneed , stamped on yet bounce up like nothing’s happened
Yet footballers , even huge centre backs get a bit of a backhand and they’re practically out cold for two minutes !?
Why is there such a difference ?

Many seem to think it was a fix
In the dying seconds apparently they were playing to get a penalty and the ref was more than happy to oblige .. loads of people are still mystified as to what the penalty was actually given for .

If you re watch the final scrum you can see Genge's knee go on the ground, unfortunately that's a penalty.

Tbf to her (as I was possibly a bit harsh on her) there is a Royal dress code where they have to dress in a formal way.
And regards to her weight, tbf some people are just naturally thin, as long as it's healthy for her to look that way I personally don't have an issue with her weight.
