Crowley, answering you from the other thread, yes i do watch rugby, but i am a league fan at heart. If the kiwis win again this year though i might stop watching altogether 😠
Olav, the Dutch have a team, but they're not vey good (because they don't really have profesional rugby players). The rest of europe (except France, the British and Italians) are getting into the game more and more, although I think football is still numero uno in most of europe.

I actually went to the final when it was held in canberra 3 or so years back. Pouring rain, strong winds, and the brumbies losing to one of the kiwi teams (forget which one, erased it from memory) in the dying minutes.
THe SA teams haven't being doing so well for a number of years from what i can remember, yet your international side is one of the better ones. Whats doing?

Originally posted by CFCnah-they're good, but not the best. New Zeland are about equal with England IMO-weren't they equal at the top for a while? the problem with rugby in the UK is that football, which 4/5 countries are no-hopers at, takes priority...but in austrailia, new zeland and s. africa, it is their national sport! but club rugby's bigger in scotland than club fotball is anyway...
Australia r a different class above the rest.

Rugby isn't our national sport. We have 3 codes of footy (not including soccer) who all have a roughly equal supporter base, with a good chunk of them following cricket when the footys not on.
