- 1 June 2010 17:2854485I must admit that the only sport we watch in this house is rugby and ( the occasional cricket ).
I don't need sport constantly pushed into my face to make me watch it.
Don't get me wrong, I love sport and once upon a time I played for Hull juniors in the days of the great Wagstaff of the Tigers.
I just find these days I can live without it and all of the waffle by foreigners that goes with it, English football is not English football any more, plus the fact all of the money that goes with it.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 2 June 2010 08:2054538Brian i would never move to far away as i know you would miss me

A try is scored in rugby. Simples!True friends stab you in the front. - 3 June 2010 11:0354693Ah but Andy, a goal in football was also called a try in the very early days of the sport. Similarly, cricket, football and rugby internationals were all called "Tests", but only cricket retains the word for international matches.
- 3 June 2010 11:2754698I never knew that, Sid!
........Aren't rugby union internationals still called 'Tests', then?True friends stab you in the front. - 3 June 2010 19:1954756No, I think, like soccer, they are just called internationals these days.
