For me Motorcycle racing. The odd important football or rugby match. Boxing when I have an interest in a fighter.

Not really a great sport watcher

I`m not a good spectator of anything, I find it boring watching someone else generally!

Occasionally boxing, winter sports or Athletics. Prefer field to track.

Stepson follows F1 and Rally religiously so get to see bits when it is on which is OK. Ralley is more interesting than F1 for me.

I love playing racquet sports and golf but couldn`t sit and watch them for more than 10 minutes.

Does `It`s a Knockout` count as a sport?

Rugby Union, being Welsh I was brought up on it. Quite enjoy Rugby League and always watch Wimbledon, can't stand Football it is like watching paint dry, although hubby is a big fan, it is just fortunate that there is more than one T.V. in our house.

Follow our local Rugby team.....The Llanelli Scarlets, try to get to as many homes games as possible and have even been to France with them for a Heineken cup match.

well as i hate rugby and have no idea about it whats the difference between league and union?

pepsigirl · Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 1:32 pm Post subject:

Union has 15 players and take line-outs, league has 13 players and when the player is tackled must stop and pass the ball back through his legs to one of his team-mates, they are allowed to do this 5 times and on the 6th tackle must kick ahead, hopefully to one of their own who goes over and scores a try, or failing that giving it to the opposition who head back down their side of the field, its a very exciting game to watch, but unfortunately living in South Wales the only games I get to watch are on T.V. there is a team in Bridgend but that is some 50 miles from where I live, so Union rules in South Wales as these are the live matches we can see.

Right ok thanks for that i think

Kellie....all you need to know is that Rugby is a game played by men with an odd shaped ball and they all get in the shower together afterwards.

Probably why it has been so popular in Public Schools for all these years.

Self confessed rugby/football/cricket non-fan.
