Rugby & thugs ??????????

This is old to rugby fans...but, I watched the first Bledisloe Cup just the other night with a couple of people that never watch any footy. After the game one said "That is such a dangerous game and brutal, not like a rugby leage game Ive watch etc....""" ,,THEN ...""Why does the Union Rugby seem to have a perception of being more civilised""Its like this , ..'Union is a thugs game played by gentlemen,and League is a gentleman's game played by thugs" LoL
We were bloody smashed,... again :( How can two countries with full time pro players have such a difference in power skill drive between them ?) Might be that all the All Blacks players are from NZ ,and they are huge and fast ? Wheras we use players from Tonga, PNG., and other islands???

Just my thoughts, I dont know, when i was younger we were the champions every body in the world were after !!

PS I didnt see any aerial shots from the quad copters like i have before...though they did have a camera man on a segway going up and down the field.

thx 4 reading. I hope god willing we win the next one :-)

    Regardless of who won (We did :-) the AB's machine is all about marketing. Very few of the top players play hard for the franchised teams they supposedly play for and so are well rested for international matches. Not sure if it is the same in Oz.

    It's (probably) the water. :)
    Haven't been able to keep up since it all turned into such big money ( > 2002) and they stopped carrying the games on Radio New Zealand.
