Catches ball, runs, runs, runs. Dexterity? Where?
I've never resorted to calling anyone on here a prick before (I've often considered it) and I considered you to be reasonably intelligent. However, you leave me no alternative. You're a prick. |

But I'm right, no? Dexterity is defined as Skill in performing tasks, esp. with the hands.
Let's compare a goalkeeper in football to a rugby player. Who is more skilful with his hands? The goalkeeper who uses reflexes to dive, sometimes at point black range to stop the ball going in his net, or the rugby player who catches a ball and doesn't drop it, whilst running.  |

There is another reason why I don't like rugby, but I've already ruffled a few feathers so no point in stoking the fire further.

What other sports do you think lack skill?

You haven't 'ruffled any feathers' at all. All you have done is made yourself look a total prick. Congratulations. |

Most people who play rugby are utter utter cunts and very weird to boot. Ever been on a night out and seen a group of rugby players out on their social? I know someone who had to lick somebody's arsehole for a forfeit.

by your own logic, a quarterback needs plenty of skill and dexterity. |

I'm presuming you've never played the game at any level Fola?
Passing a rugby ball accurately is nowhere near as easy as it looks, particularly whilst running at speed. Neither is recieving the pass. Timing of the pass and timing of the run are as difficult/easy as they are on a football pitch.
The other facets of the game are as skillful or otherwise as counterparts in other sports. Tackling in Rugby is more than just grabbing someone, in the same way as tackling in football is more than sticking your leg out.
I prefer watching football, but I loved playing rugby. Give it a go if you get the chance.

I'm laughing, but for all the wrong reasons... OK, this is my final word in what has become a rather sorry, tawdry excuse for a thread...
