Absolutely this. Our rugby players are like warriors. Our footballers are just fannies who constantly let the country down

International rugby is regarded as the pinnacle of the game by clubs, the coaches of the clubs, players and supporters alike, hence the pride. International football is regarded as an unfortunate inconvenience by a lot of clubsm coaches, players and supporters.
 
Footballers don't go on the pitch with blood capsules. Or wink to the camera after they used it.

Rugby is similar to football in that the international side can't get out of the group phase or lose embarrassingly at World Cups.
 
Cant bear watching England football on the other hand I love watching the egg chasers. Rugby is everything that Football is not. No diving, no cheating, no trying to con the referee at every opportunity, no swearing at the referee. Footballers lost touch with reality about 10 years ago, how the fuck can you pay some dimwit £100,000 grand a week for playing football, the world has gone mad.

Worraabout the blood capsule affair? It took football a lot more years to get from the dawn of professionalism to yer basic out and out cheating than Rugby took getting from turningro to fancy dress shop blood capsules!
 
hilarious some of the responses on here. at least do some research before trying to discredit something.

2003 Winners. 2007 Finalists. 2011 QF. 2015 group stage. Also the most 6 nations wins, most grand slams and calcutta cups. the English RU international side is one of the worlds best. England's 1st XI haven't even won a Euro's before :lol:

this is correct. a rugby player plays for their club so they get picked for their country. most international teams demand their players play in their own league to be eligible for selection. complete opposite in soccer.

Good job the Germans and Brazilians don't play Rugby eh. Middle class fat lads that can't play football, that's rugby for ya.

Germany are on par to qualify for their first world cup. Brasil have had a team for over 60 years. Not sure Kenya counts as middle class or indeed 'fat'.
