Rugby Questions and Answers
What position do you play?
Question:I play Number 8.
Answers:
G'day Ace D 9,
Thank you for your question.
Back within my rugby days which are longer ago than I care to recognize I played prop or second row.
These days I am a keen spectator of the ACT Brumbies and of the Wallabies in general on the television such as tonight when they play the Springboks.
Regards
I'm also an 8man, what a great position, you don't hold to run around as much as the flankers, but your always hard by the action.
Cheers Schuan
Hi ace d9
During my institution years i played wing. When i went to the army i played fly partly. After the army i played wing and center for my club. But as got elder and slower i moved into the eight man and flank position and now that really slow I'm playing lock. But i do fancy myself playing fly partially against weaker opposition. I still own the skill but i lack the gait nowadays.
i play wing and center for the army.
hooker, flanker and scrum partly for school/club...
i love targeting fly halves and smashing their face into the mud...heh
I started off as a Wing (yuk yuk yuk) and after moved to Tighthead Prop (#3).
Before my ACL Surgery I played No.4 Lock [Second Row], that was rear in May.
Since after, I assist with coaching the strange kids that play my position, and no offense to them, but none are nearly as good as I be, having some legitimate trouble teaching them roughly locking out the legs in scrums.
flanker
i don't play (haha) but my brother plays. 6,7 and 8
a multi-positional subsidise! wooooooooooo! cos i'm a runner! woooooooo
Prop for SIS. captained the troop.
Flanker or Number 8
Wing... cause I'm freshly too small to play anything else!
Flyhalf (nr 10) or Fullback (nr 15)
Proud to be a tighthead prop!
Is Rugby becoming too much resembling American Football?
Question:The area i am chitchat about is the will to hold to be huge lumps of muscle to play these days beside centres and wingers reguarly hitting 16stone immediately will this eventually drain all the flair, inginuity and spontanaity out of the spectator sport?!?!?
Answers:
Not at all - athletism developes over time...
you'll hold bigger, better, faster players...
as long as theres no padding...the rest stays indistinguishable.
I think so. Yes
kinda.
yeah, I devise they need to modify the rules to net it more like Aussie Rules...
In certainty exactly like Aussie Rules...
yes
So Jonah Lomu isnt athletic??
is soccer becoming too much close to football?
American Football is rugby with insulation. I don't think so, powerfully i hope not. For example the Irish teams hooker Peter Stringer is solitary about 12 stone. Fingers crossed that it stays as fab as it is presently!
No
Do not confuse size next to professionalism. Professionals are getting bigger because they can afford to spend more time in the gym fairly than the good ripened days of amateurs.
Most rugby players are still pretty much the same list they have other been.
not a accident.
No your not allowed to nick steroids in rugby and you dont devolution your side to a group of fat cheeseburger munching twats from miami, when your defending. Also you cant wimp out of tackle by wearing armour in rugby. American football is of late like americans, F*** pointless,deeply annoying, and hated by the entire world apart from themselves who they love, but for some defence regularly shoot the * out of themselves especially at school.
No.
be about to vote,well hmmnmm hit the fastener on the head.
yes
Rugby is a professional hobby and the players earn huge salaries monthly. But as within any other sport there is greatly of competition. So if you are not the fastest, strongest or have the most bubble skills you will not make the squad nor generate an income. The new classmates rugby players are bigger and faster but so is there hostility. So you cant just run over someone you still requirement the flair to site step or go around you're hostility.
no. americans are wussies, that is why they own all the pading, at hand is nothing approaching rugby believe me, i live in america but come from south africa and rugby still stays yhe best, possibly some rugby teams play approaching girls but not all of them.
Heaven reclaim us from that. Rugby is for the brave and powerful people.
hope not they play for three second then seem like enjoy a break for half an hour
Not a destiny, there is no road American footballers would play their sport without any nouns....
Bigger ,Faster , Better.
A good big un other beats a righteous small un !!

History
Rugby association was an increasingly popular sport for Wales surrounded by the 1890s and particularly contained by the south where its popularity be known to rival that of association football. The Welsh coal miners shared equal working class ethos of the miners from the northern counties of England. The impending schism of 1895 tore apart the English rugby union and within the early 1900s, the shock top where self felt contained by Wales, though the Welsh Rugby Union were smaller amount strict in their interpretation of the amateur ethos and avoided a schism.
Nonetheless, copious Welsh players signed for English clubs. The Northern Union's administrators begin to ponder the possibilities of international competitions against an English representative side. The first attempt met with a removal of public interest, and the first scheduled Northern Union international, also become the first postponed Northern Union international. It was rescheduled for the 5 April 1904. The troop opposing England be labelled Other Nationalities and consisted of Welshmen and a few Scots. The Other Nationalities proved too strong, defeat the English 9 - 3. In 1905, England gained final some credibility with a 21 - 11 win.

Any rugby games during late Sept, mid Oct in Paris, Barcelona, or London?
Question:I'll be visiting Paris, Barcelona, and London from late September through mid October and would like to watch a rugby game for the first time.
