Rugby, Do we need it?

I think you need to look up the meaning of buzzword, none of the examples you’ve given would qualify as buzzwords.

I’d be more of a hurling man than any other sport but I would enjoy watching rugby along with plenty of other sports too. As someone earlier said no real sportsperson can love one sport and hate another for no logical reason. You may not have an interest in another sport but any sportsperson would admire the talent/skill/ability etc. it takes to compete in any other sport.

Rugby is by far one of the most technical of the field sports due to all the different rules so the attitude you have towards it is generally one that comes from people who haven’t the required intelligence levels to understand it. You find it easier to put it down than admit to not having the brain capacity to understand it.

But hey, whatever makes you feel better about yourself, you go ahead with it. In the grand scheme of things nothing said by an anonymous poster on boards is going to make any difference whatsoever to the partaking in, or supporting of, any sport so if it makes you feel better about yourself then I suppose that’s the best result you were ever going to get.

Best of luck with it👍

Not sure I've ever heard this one either. Are we sure we're discussing the same sport? Is rabbithole a rugby league term or something?

i have never heard out of the rabbithole in relation to rugby. If that is in your top 3 then you must be struggling.

Id also say it is harder to find a sport that doesnt have multiple phrases to describe passes.

Soccer-> backpass, pass between the line

Hurling-> handpass, stick pass

Football -> hand pass, foot pass

Pumping the legs is generally when you have someone tackiling you and you still make meters forward. Absolutley noone i know would describe that as running. I know when i go running i tend not to have a 15 stone man hanging off me.

Why do they play with a crookedly ball that don’t even bounce right??

Some more,

22 drop out, Goal-line drop out, cross field kick, spiral kick, torpedo kick, up and under, box kick, 50-22, out on the full, fly kick, hack through, touch finder, kick at goal, penalty kick, conversion, free kick, drop-off, kick to touch, kick straight out from inside your own 22, hook, volley, kick it dead, a contestable, control it (number 8 at the back of a scrum), block it (fullback sometimes stops it with his foot before picking it up to avoid a knock on), roll it back (scrum-half at a ruck),

Fade, curl, end over end, inside out, banana kick, under the posts, from the side-line, slot it through or thread it through (when putting a low kick past the attempted foot block), finding grass (into open space), in behind (behind the back three to make them turn back to collect it), a probing kick (split it between the fullback and winger to make them make a decision who should collect it), kick chase, kick tennis/ aerial tennis, kicking for territory, stab it through (very short kick aiming for it to bounce up), toe poke (little touch to play it to a team-mate), loose or aimless kick, sweep it clear, clearance kick, launch it, canon it up the pitch, put it out (to end play when time is up)

So you try to fit in with a group by faking interest in something you don't like or enjoy. Are you really that desperate for acceptance? That's kinda sad. And pathetic.

And those "buzzwords" you mentioned, they're not rugby specific. I've heard those phrases used in multiple other sports. The commentators were talking about game management in the Benfica v Liverpool soccer match just the other night.

Never heard that one either. Ever.

All these stupid made up terms used in rugby, but I think it’s even worse in golf. Golf has got to be the worst of all sports, except cricket.

I had a great time watching the rugby this weekend. So there.

Maybe we've figured out what a rabbit-holing is...
