    Do they actually like the sport or are they just ogling the men?

    It's way more interesting to watch than football. More frequent scoring, less bullshît both on and off the pitch, has a far better team ethos, and it's 10 mins shorter :D

    It's probably not shorter though cos the clock stops in it. Imagine it works out similar enough

    rugby is so much more exciting to watch, no comparison to soccer. i played ladies rugby for 6 years and loved it. always loved rugby since i was very young. have been to munster and ireland rugby games and the atmosphere is always friendly and enjoyable. have also been to a few soccer matches over in the uk, a lot of the fans were abusive even to their own team. after the game 1 set of supporters needs to stay behind so the other fans can leave so there is no trouble, as for the game itself, a most boring game i nearly fell asleep- though that was when martin o neill was in charge of aston villa

    In her 80's, I had a relative who was mad into the ol' rugger, bit of violence was good, lots of violence an there would be a smile on her face for days.:eek:


    Go Figure :P

    A real feminist answer

    Rugby is aspirational just like a new BMW or a new leather couch

    Healthy jizz radius.

    Ladies love that stuff.

    They seek healthy swimmers like Indiana Jones seeks old artifacts.

    Always prospecting for the good spunken.

    If you see guys hanging around the female gymnastics or volleyball teams its obvious they're just pervy bastards.

    But women just openly do it and get away with it because they're women and thus can do no wrong.

    Exactly the same reason why so many men seem to be interested in it nowadays: The Ireland team is currently successful. Just watch that support drop away whenever Ireland start losing again.

    Its not just the wimmins its the gay men too ! I have some male friends who love the rugby something to do with bears and muscled marys I am told


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,100 ✭✭✭tabby aspreme


    Because they understand the offside rule


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,694 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Women are event junkies just like men, they love a day out at the pub too.

    As said above, if Ireland weren't winning, there would be a far less people excited about it.

    Because they copped fairly fast that there is away games in Paris and Rome and the likes...

    It’s the middle classness of it all. The safe social climbing option. The bogball is a bit rural, the “soccer” is bit, you know, proletarian. The egg chasing is all about fast cars, D4 homes, Hello magazine and other sad fantasies.

    *Moght be fall out pending ongoing court case. Stay tuned.

    After hours needs a version of Godwin's. Law.

    Any thread mentioning women will eventually have someone mention feminism, sexism, double standards or all of the above.
