Rugby Heaven

The serious rugby enthusiast is sure that the sport played in heaven is rugby! Rugby Union is a game of passion and creates strong emotions that you will see surface among crowds during and after a game. All serious rugby enthusiasts will be up to watch their favourite rugby team play, and make sure the players are performing. And Rugby League supporters are a bit similar. They are also a passionate bunch with strong emotions, a different style of game although similar in lots of ways.

After any rugby game you will find supporters at the local bars dissecting the game and explaining what the players ‘should’ have done. In Rugby Union when you look at it, you have 15 players in each team racing up and down a paddock after an oval piece of leather. The test is to get the ball down the opposite end of the field and over the line. The team who can do it the most wins! Simple? No, not so simple…

This is where the game gets technical. Although I have been attending rugby games since I was first able to walk, I would not dare to talk technically about the game! Most Rugby Union buffs are quite serious about the game. Rugby enthusiasts are among the most passionate, most one-eyed people and when they start talking about Rugby others soon get bored or tired of the subject. The serious Rugby buff will talk for hours and hours about one game. For many of them it becomes their life and things revolve around Rugby. So naturally they take it that Rugby will be played in heaven…

Rugby Heaven is also the leading Australian Rugby web site.
