Likewise, (most) people who are good at football would be pretty shocking at rugby.

Anyway, if you can't appreciate the way in which the sport is played, get out of the thread.
Actually most would be very good at catching a ball, running with it and falling over. It's really not very hard. The 'skill' they lack is being over 6 foot and as wide as a house.

Rugby should be split into weight categories, it would make it a more skillful sport. You can agree with that.

The closest you get to skill is a conversion or a drop goal. Ironically it involves kicking a ball.

I admire your attempt at trolling.

If Bosnia/Serbia/Cocafolastan had a competitive rugby team you'd have a totally different opinion of the sport, no doubt.

Next time you want to comment on a sport, you might want to read up on it a bit first.

Not a free flowing game, or one that would have excited anyone new to the game or who dips in & out.  Samdy had it spot on though.  England played the conditions perfectly.

Fola - if that was a gutsy 1-0 win ground out in gale like conditions where we had parked the proverbial bus after taking an early lead somewhere like Coventry, you'd be raving about it.
It actually reminded me of our 1-0 win at Colchester on Tuesday night. Like today, that was never going to be a free flowing game, it was always going to be about digging in, playing as a team and grinding out a result. It's just as satisfying in its way as going out onto a prefect pitch in the middle of September, pinging the ball all over the place and stuffing the other team 4-0. Anyone who finds that boring knows fuck all about sport.

Finally, there are threads on here at various times about F1, golf and other sports which I personally have no interest in. I let other people discuss those subects to their hearts content. Although I realise those sports have their merits, I know nothing about and don't much like them so have nothing worthwhile to contribute.  I myself prefer to (as Samdy alluded to) shut the fuck up. I would never dream of going on to a thread about The Ryder Cup for example and come out with "Golf's a boring load of shit". That would be moronic.

Just saying.

Golf bores me to fuck.

Therefore I know not to open the golf thread. How simple is that?

I don't like golf or cricket yet I appreciate the levels of technical skill needed to compete at the highest level.

Yeah but golf and cricket is nothing but swinging a heavy object at a little ball. No skill involved there.

(See, I can do ignorance too).

Well you should be able appreciate that to play any sport at a high level requires high levels of technical skill, whether or not you yourself are aware of what those skills are and whether or not you have any interest in that sport. As I said, if you don't like a particular sport, don't bother going on there and saying, "Ooooh, it's boring, it's rubbish, there's no skill to it".

If you do that, you make yourself look stupid. Believe me.
