Selon la légende, au cours d'une partie de football (soccer) à la mi 1823, William Webb Ellis, élève de ce collège (la Rugby School) et futur pasteur, porta dans ses bras le ballon derrière la ligne de but adverse alors que la tradition était de le pousser au pied. En réalité, les origines du rugby seraient beaucoup plus anciennes\n+ de détails : ici ===>http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby

Well, I'll start with a personal anecdote.  First game I played in college I had my head stepped on by my own damned scrumhalf, cleats and all, and was knocked out on the field.  I have also personally seen people have their faces cut open by elbows in a ruck, usually right above the eye.  Head wounds bleed quite a bit.  Another injury I have witnessed was from one of the girl ruggers here, who had her ear nearly torn off and then stitched back on. I'm not even bothering to mention the number of broken limbs, sprains, and their ilk. Also, for some statistics on Rugby injuries in Australia, check the link in the source.  \n\nNeedless to say, Rugby is a much more violent sport than Football, and it makes it just that much more fun to play.\n\nEdit:  Forgot to mention spearing, in which during a tackle a player is lifted by his legs and smashed head first into the ground.  It is illegal, but it happens.\n\nEdit:  Well, back in the late 19th century, England alone counted 71 rugby related deaths in three seasons.  I haven't been able to find a recent count, although I know that deaths do occur.  I didn't bother mentioning broken/twisted limbs because they are so common. You know, legs broken the wrong way with the bone sticking out, that sort of thing. I also know from playing that football players can't take a hit to save their lives.  They are too comfortable with all that padding.  You take it away and they break something or have something broken within two or three games.\n\nEdit:  I'm going to keep finding stuff to convince you how awesome the game is!  Buck Shelford had his sack cut open during a game by a boot spike, which left his testicle hanging out.  Doctors stitched him back up and he played the rest of the game.  Link is in the sources.

What does this have to do with rugby besides the fact that they are Bulls fans?

This whole business is firing up war of words!\nThe haka is a great rugby tradition, but in every ground all over the world, the home team always has the last say before KO, IE they sing their  anthem last! So why should the Nz have it different? They would not like it in their own back yard to be told wot to do! The WRU told NZRU in October that the haka would be preformed in between the two anthems! The AB's then changed their mind on Saturday!\nMaybe "Hen Wlad Fy'n Nhadau" may not pump adrenaline, but it sure as hell, fires the passion!

I love grilled calamari as well as a nice roast chicken with roast potatoes.\n\nBut, you're right, nothing beats a good braai. We had one on Saturday for the Sprinbok game and it was great - boerewors and steaks that can't be matched anywhere else in the world! Pity about the rugby result though :-(

L'équipe nationale de rugby à XV de Nouvelle-Zélande est l'une des meilleures sélections nationales au monde. Les Néo-zélandais sont surnommés All Blacks en raison d'un article britannique faisant suite à leur première tournée européenne, et dans lequel le journaliste les qualifia de all backs (tous trois-quarts) en hommage au jeu de mouvement de leurs avants. Cette expression fut mal comprise et devint All Blacks (aujourd'hui marque déposée) en raison de leur tenue intégralement noire. C'est d'ailleurs la seule équipe (peut-être tous sports confondus) jouant de la même couleur à domicile et à l'extérieur. Au vu de leurs excellents résultats, on prétend parfois également que les All Blacks sont en noir pour porter le deuil de leurs adversaires.

I am a huge sprinbok fan, but to be honest, the All Blacks are the team to beat. Their structures are in place and have 5 great provincial teams

I think they could be South Africa national rugby league team

Got to agree with you there. Lived in Fiji and Tonga when I was a kid and loved the rugby out there. Think England will give them a run for their money though. England might not be able to win 15s but they're still impressive in 7s.
