Rugby, as a sport, bores me.. But one of the values that I love with rugby is that, generally speaking, it's full of sportsmanship. If a player carries out a nasty tackle in an opponent, it's normally through mistiming it, rather than any malice. Naturally there are times where it's done on purpose.


There also doesn't tend to be too much cheating going on..


I'm a huge football/soccer fan, but those elements in the sport frustrate me.


There's an old saying:


Football/soccer is a gentleman's sport played by hooligans, Rugby is a hooligan's sport played by gentlemen.
