Gay Rugby

Peared

Anybody see this on the news?

I dunno. I mean some of my best friends are... etc etc but is this just silly. Rugby is rugby.

SuperSean11

Was it a report and if so what did it say?

Caoimhín

I saw that.
And the only context i can put it in is how i would feel if i was playing against an all female team. I dont think id be turned on.
So, if you get what i mean, i dont think i have a problem with it.

I play rugby, I'm a girl, I go to DCU (where all the competitors are staying) and I'll go to some of the games tomorrow. What's the problem.

The problem is, if i was playing against them and i came to believe they were getting frisky, well....

What the hell are ye's talking about? If you play rugby you are gay or if you're gay you probably play rugby?

Peared

Ha, starting a thread with no information in it ftw.

I don't have a problem with it, I don't know why there has to be gay this and black that all the time. Can there not just be this and that?

Its to promote non discrimanatory sport.. by having gay and bisexual players?

Sometimes making an issue out of something makes it an issue.

Why not just have 'players'?

Lesbian best mate agrees and is sick of being represented by people that dont represent her. But that's another days work.

Extra tight scrums.

I played against a predominately gay team and it was possibly the funniest game I ever played.

One of the tacklers was penalised for not rolling away from the tackle and said to the ref "But I like him!" which got everyone laughing!

The scrums the lads really hammed it up, and had lots of ooooohs on the engage. Bloody hillarious you couldnt take it seriously.

It was just a fun game rather than a league or anything.

Great bunch of lads, played a good game and enjoyed a pint afterwards.

Actually the RTE footage was pure Father Ted. Close up on a mustachioed guy running with the ball then cut away to the goys hugging each other.

What's next? Gay cowboys?

So what if they're gay? It's time you all stopped laughing at Leinster, and I'm saying that as a Munsterman, born and bred. Leinster won the Bulmers League this year, y'know.

briantwin

Yeah i don't know.....
Are they wearing extra baggy shorts to accommodate unforeseen bodily reactions?
I mean again like everyone got a few gay friends myself but i just cant see how things don't turn into a game of sweaty man twister post match in the changing rooms.

I don't see being gay as an insult and I don't generally laugh at gay jokes and yada yada but... I lolled

Ah, After Hours, reminds of that scene in the Simpsons where Bart reads Skinner's mind

LOL! Certainly tarnishes rugbys "macho" image

Don't see the issue tbh.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

The radio ad is priceless... Although it's probably not the image they want to put forward if they want to be taken seriously as sports men.

D-A-V-E

pff..only in leinster!

From what I can gather, a group of gays are trying to play in the non-gay league, is that it?

Feck that, Lesbian Trampolining and Wrestling world championship FTW.

suspectdevice

all those rugger buggers better watch out, wouldn't go down too well with that shower of male chauvinistic pigs.

they'd be well beaten anyway. i hear the others lads ball handling skills are second to none

Toto Wolfcastle

Not a new thing. It was definitely on the news last year and possibly the year before.

Rugby is rugby. If you have an interest in it, watch it. If you don't, don't.

Jimbo

With all that groping, I'd be more surprised if a new, straight form of rugby emerged

Very good? I read in the Times there that they lost every single game in the J4 league this year

VIS VIRES

I bet they like playing with ball in hand:D

Sure, all sport is gay.

Rugby - Man handling
Football - Watching sweaty men exercise
Wrestling - Man handling
Everything else - Gay Rape.

:pac:

It's a bit stupid. It's kinda homophobic, isn;t it? And this isn't my drunkeneness speaking btw

Jigsaw

Crouch, touch, pause, engage.

Hmmmm yes.

If men did curling and synchronised swimming, there'd be at least 2 heterosexual yet macho sports!

Fair play to whoever's doing the PR for this, because it's been great.
