I like rugby union, but I notice that there aren't many who like rugby union here. I noticed theres no thread dedicated specifically to rugby union. Also with the bledisloe cup plus the tri-nations coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to make this thrad.

So tonights game is Australia (Wallabies) vs France at Suncorp Stadium Brisbane.

France were beaten last week 34-13, but I would like them to balance it out a bit and make it a close game toady.

Btw I love Sebastian Chabal, he is my idol.

Yea, I would say we're up there robbo, except the only team stoping us atm are the All Blacks and possibly Springboks. Or maybe England. (As England upset us at the 2007 world cup.) I play union Robbo. What position do you play, I play flanker or number 8

id say the most formidable team would have to be the all blacks, closely, followed by South Africa, the poms don't have too much on us

either tight head prop or hooker

God that guy is a gorilla LOL , even thou Im a Victorian I dont mind Union, I prefer it over League as its a quicker game & tougher. Went to a couple games in Melbourne during the World Cup when it was in Australia last, didnt really have a clue what the rules were but they were good games to watch.

Lol Crazy, Yea basically you get the ball get it over the line, with the other team defending, the ruck is basically a contest for the ball... Yea thats it in a nutshell I guess. Positions are split up into fowards and backs, fowards being the ones going to the breakdowns and cleaning out players on the opposing team trying to get the ball. Backs stand out in a horizontal line wait for the ball and pass it through the backline. For my scoring oppotunities. Yea thats basically it in a Nutshell I guess. well there is alot more to the game..

But rugby In my opinion is the sport that you have to be passionate to play, I mean you dont see people getting steped on by 5 people in other sports. Thats passion my friends, playing for your team, country.

Nice Robbo, I used to play hooker, I love throwing the lineouts.

I love Union. Been playing for 6 years, haven't stopped since. It really is a sport of kings. Besides the fact that Horse Racing has already taken that slogan..

If it was that simple then why did the referee keep blowing his whistle & giving penalties etc LOL , I already knew about the running with it, no forward pass & scoring part, Im happy to watch most sports & try to follow all the World Cups Australia are part of, could be hockey, swimming or whatever but I just didnt understand sometimes why penalties were awarded or why play had stopped. I was lucky I went to the games with my gf at the time & her dad who were from New Zealand so they tried to explain what was going on.

Yea final Score was: 40-10

Comeon France aren't in great form at the moment comparing it to their performance at the world cup. I mean they cant even pass it through the backline without one mistake. Really they either have to get back into shape, get all the experienced players. Cause they basically changed their whole backline with unexperienced players that game. Chabal should play no.8 and HARINAWDIKII I dont know how to spell his name, should go to flanker like usual. Bring back experienced hooker, and props that are good at scrumaging. France were terrible at scrumaging yesterday.
