Here are 10 things you most definitely never ever say to a rugby player, no matter what level or position they play;
1. Isn't it Just A Load Of Big Guys Running Into Each Other
Ever heard of Jason Robinson?
This is a tired old argument used to put down rugby players by people who have never actually taken the time to watch one of the greatest sports in the world.
2. Maybe You Should Come Off?
Not a chance!
Never, I repeat never tell a rugby player they should leave the field...unless it's a head injury.
3. So, Do You Take Steroids?
What do you think? Idiot!
Yes, rugby players may be bigger than most people, but that doesn’t mean we’re all pumped full of steroids. We workout and train hard which naturally increases muscle mass.
4. Doesn't It Hurt
What do you think genius?
Yes rugby players will act tough and laugh off huge hits but of course that 18 stone monster hitting you at full pace hurts.
5. You're Too Big/Small!
Nobody is the wrong size for rugby. There is a position for everyone.
6. Rugby players love themselves too much
Not strictly true. However, it does take a certain level of bravado to handle yourself on the rugby pitch
7. Are You Going To Eat All Of That?
Rugby players love food. Sharing really isn't an option.
Nothing can satisfy your hunger after a game
8. Watching Rugby is Boring
Probably not, but listening to you talk is definitely lowering my IQ.
9. Winning Isn’t Everything
Are you kidding?
Rugby may be a game full of good conduct and sportsmanship but anybody who steps out onto the field without the intention of putting everything into winning frankly doesn’t belong anywhere near a rugby team
10. Football Is The Real Beautiful Game
And aren’t all football players fairies?
