    don't like rugby at all, nothing but a body smashing contest
    You've clearly never played rugby.

    Tbh I love playing most sports... Mainly cricket and fencing.

    I'll watch most sports, but motorsports as well as most track/field athletics, I find really tedious to watch.

    It's a much better spectator sport when you know all the technicalities and details. I find it absolutely fascinating, but I compete and coach fencing so I have an eye for it.

    Yeah it just seemed hard to follow and get into when I didn't know much about it. The people watching at the venue were going mad for it so maybe there's more to it than I thought

    If you were watching the BBC coverage, that doesn't help.
    The commentary is absolutely shocking. It doesn't really help out people who've never done the sport.

    Only people who are crap at cricket think it is boring to play. What is boring exactly? Batting is exciting, bowling is exciting, wicketkeeping is exciting.

    Re: Sports you like and dislike?
    Like watching: rugby (league), gymnastics, diving, ice skating, erm... edit: and weightlifting.
    Like playing: badminton, swimming, cycling, hockey
    Dislike watching/playing: just about everything else.

    Don't understand the people who don't like rugby :lol: And like football. I can't watch a footy match after watching some 6 nations or lions without being bored out of my mind. But that's just me
