12 Wrongs of Rugby

I would watch most sports and enjoy the vast majority. But in the last couple of years I have just become sick of rugby. Its on all year now on TV when back in the day it was on for the 6 Nations, European Cup knock out stages etc. To the average sports fan its suffering from over kill.

I watched the Ireland New Zealand game last week. Well also with one eye on the Chelsea West Brom game in the background. I know the All Blacks are supposed to be the best but we were just downright poor. Game was shocking boring.

Somethings just piss me off about rugby. With the season that almost upon us. Here is my 12 wrongs of rugby

  1. No matter how bad someone is playing it is next to impossible to be taken off. Especially if they are playing in a key position like out half. ROG was absolutley useless in every WC game and against NZ. Surley there comes a point when you give Paddy Wallace or whoever a run. He couldn’t do any worse anyway.

  2. Home town refereeing is evident in all sports to some degree. I think in rugby though that this is worse than most. Remember the BOD ‘try’ against France a few years back in Landsdowne Road. The video ref somehow gave a try. I always felt the Thomond Park factor was as much about the ref playing with the home side as about any opposition side in fear.

  3. The ball handling skills and kicking skills seem to have been forgotten about my northern hemisphere teams. The likes of NZ etc can easily pass the ball in the tackle etc. Surely a basic enough skill for an international player. Kicking from the hand is dreadful. How hard can it be to kick the ball within five metres of the touchline, at least forcing the opposition player to kick back from a tight angle. Some many kicks last week were stright down the middle to a full back in acres of space waiting for a handy catch. Also why do players kick garryowens into the middle of the 22’s. Its a handy free kick for the opposition who can just call for a mark. It’s just mind numbingly stupid play yet it happens the whole time.

  4. Absolutley no consistency in the applying of the rules from refs. Again a common complaint in many sports but rugby is in a league of its own in this regard.

  5. What does someone have to do to be sent off in rugby?

  6. The Irish backline made about two line breaks in 80 mins against the All Blacks. A depressing stat. Less and less the backs are being used for their skill. BOD is nothing more than a wing forward at this stage.

7)Why is there scrums? How many more life threatening neck injuries have to take place?

8)I was in Cardiff last year for HCup final. Atmosphere was absolutley rank. I was expecting a life changing experience.

  1. Ireland’s Call - bad enough to warrant a redrafting of the Good Friday Agreement

  2. The Triple Crown - What a pile of wank. It may have come to the attention of some idiots that Ireland is not part of the fucking crown. An absolutely worthless trophy. Either you win the 6 nations trophy or you dont. End of

  3. The Lions tour - again a pile of wank. The IRFU pay the Irish players as far as I am aware for to play for their Province and Country. Then why the fuck are they letting our elite players go for a tour down under and probably get injured or certainly highly fatigued. Its not as if going on Tour is a once off. Ireland seem to go Touring once every 2 years anyway. Cannot understand the ‘Lions’ at all. Our best player BOD got fucked up badly on the last one and has never really recovered since.

  4. A hooker that cannot throw the ball in straight is a fucking joke. End of. I mean they are professional and train every day yet someone like Jerry Flannery or Sheehan in particular cant throw it in to save themselves. I only found out recently that the hooker doesnt have to throw it in. Any player can do it. Why dont the coach train a few players on how to throw the ball into a line out. How hard can it be in fairness

your mission for the week coming so bandage is to loiter around the toilets of your office and find out…or you could just ask him straight out…but don’t let us down like you did with the freemasons…

Somebody told me recently that statistics have proven that more dangerous injuries occur as a result of high speed tackles/collisions as opposed to scrums

That’s an interesting observation and you’d think that they’d be better off with the hooker lifting in the line-out

good point…you can toe the nut off some lad and only get a yellow…also a punch-up is called ‘getting to know eachother’ in rugby whereas in GAA it makes the front page of the papers and an inquest is called for…

Will someone summarise KIB Mans post?

Rogbee is lame is the jist of it

Good man, cheers. I got as far as the Chelsea West Brom bit and lost interest.
