Is football or rugby better

Answer 1

its purley a matter of personal preference. Many Rugby player/supporters feel that the game IS the better of the two when compared to football (soccer) as the game has a history of discipline. It was once said of the two games "Football is a gentlemans game played by thugs where Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen"

You will never see a group of rugby players surrounding a referee, swearing, being openly aggressive and pushing officials about yet its a week event in soccer. Also look at soccer matches and you will see police officers marshelling the supporters, supporters segregated around the groud and kept apart pre and post match time. In rugby You have stewards with mixed stands filled with banter filled supporters singing supportive songs which contain no foul language - pre and post matches see supporters mixing, even when alchohol is present and the only fighting seen is to the bar for the next pint of beer.
