Does anyone know why georgia has a rugby team?
Because the world is 90% poofter.
wtf I love Argentina now
Because they're not poofs.
Looks like its just poor countries that aren't members. Their is a direct correlation between quality of life and rugby prowess between countries.
The better question is why Uzbekistan has a team, nobody else in Central Asia does
>French Guiana has qualified
This cannot be right
Im pretty sure we have a team/federation, but nobody gives a shit about it and they don't have money for anything. Now and then some random Aussie comes and becomes the local Rugby god handling everything regarding the sport.
Then why is South Africa one of the greatest rugby nations?
Yeah, here it is. They are so in need of players that you can join any club as a player just by giving your name

Weird, desu
used to watch rugby sevens all the time
one of the better foreign sporting events I've ever seen
that stuff was hype, man
This map will be counting as part of France, rather than a separate country.
I played rugby from grade 9 until i graduated for my schools team and for a regional team that I had to tryout for. Was good shit, wish it was more popular in Canada. I'll be putting my son into rugby as soon as i can
Redpill me on the Southern Hemisphere
Same reason Americuck does
Confirmed for me not being able to read.
Rules are too complex.
The game isnt fun to play, you dont have the ball often.
It's too violent and amateurs harm themselves too often.
Egg balls and rugby goals are somewhat rare, impeding the development of the game in the poorest countries.
And finally, as a parent, I don't mind seeing kids playing it and hurting their brains out, but I won't let my kids play it.
we had a sport that resembles rugby way before rugby was a thing
>Lelo or lelo burti (Georgian: ლელო ბურთი), literally a "field ball [playing]", is a Georgian folk sport, which is a full contact ball game, and very similar to rugby.[1] Within Georgian rugby union terminology, the word lelo is used to mean a try, and the popularity of rugby union in Georgia has also been attributed to it.[2] In 2014, lelo burti, along with khridoli, a traditional martial art, was inscribed by the government of Georgia as a "nonmaterial monument" of culture.[3]
>It appears in the 12th century Georgian epic poem The Knight in the Panther's Skin in which the characters play Lelo burti.
>colombia has a team
wew
I played a lot of sports and rugby is unironically one of the most fun things in the world.
its literally to intelligent for most sport fans
most 'people' in the gray countries can barely follow soccer
Are there any cute boys like Brady?
>its literally to intelligent for most sport fans
>it's
>too
Looks like you're most sports fans lad.
bro you know if that was true then our godland would be shit at rugby
there's a lot of kiwi in this thread
gotta be at lest 3
that's nearly the whole population of the south island
Yeah, we have only one pro guy playing in France

Kids' rugby isn't actually very dangerous. It's better to learn to play as a child than it is when you're developed, because the hits are much harder and there are worse consequences for poor technique.
I find it to be very boring man
Rugby is boring.
AFL is shit too.
Why are our sports so bad?
it is mostly their whites playing rugby, and they are well off.
it is a sport for smart and muscular people. not many people fit that criteria
The French are weird and they consider all of their colonies to be part of France proper
So yeah, French Guiana haven't qualified - France have.
It's the hemisphere south of the equator.
HOLL UP HOLL UP
WEZ GOT A RUGBY TEAM?
Get a load of this absolute raging faggot
Thailand has a team. Intresting
Muslims and other africans don't know we exist so they don't come here.
It's getting there, mate. Give it a couple more decades
still is you twat
most people are dumb and have short attention spans
rugby has relatively complex rules and is not very fluid
dumb people that can't concentrate like soccer because its easy to understand and the game never stops
soccer is way more accessible, as all you need is something you can kick
TLDR most people aren't muscular, intelligent, and elite enough to be worthy fans
We'll give mexico a couple of decades to get good at soccer too
The fans are cunts.
Who hurt you m8?
>rugby
>complex
it's literally just a bunch of fatties running into each other
Mean in England, dunno about you lot.

Hello beautiful.
Big strong Argentinian reporting in.
>Have a rugby team in town
:D
>They are a literal fucking homosexual team
fuuuuuuggggggggD:D:D:D:D:DDD:
yeah and we've qualified for the past few World Cups.
a friend of mine has a cousin who's on the female rugby national team. i was not aware of such a team.
this is exactly what we think
Nobody cares about it in Guatemala either and we always wipe the floor with you cunts
Rugby became a bit popular in portugal after our participation in the 2007 WC, but by the time the 2011 edition was held, its popularity faded away amongst barbosas
It's seen as a rich people's sport here and most teams are linked to universities rather than the popular football clubs. Benfica and Sporting have rugby teams though, but that still didn't help promoting the sport.
>he thinks I care enough to even react to our rugby team being shit
>he thinks I Costa Rican would care about anything related to Nicaragua even if that includes us
(((Our))) Baseball league and (((National))) team is made up by Nicaraguans, Amerifats, Dominicans and Colombians, nobody cares about those sports here at all.
>No Arabs
>No Africans
>No Indians
>No Asians except Japan, Thailand, Worst Korea, and Flipadelphia
>all the white countries
I think this patrician sport is for me.
What the fuck does nicaragua have to do with anything other than them being the only country in Central America without a rugby team?
Oh shit, sorry, we call everything between USA and us Nicaragua, your name made me post that. Sorry.
mfw Burgers have more players than us or Wales or NZ
memekenzie?
>no Argentina
good.
you really sported that poofter kraut
Does Australia like football?
>tfw rugby is still an amateur sport here
this country sucks
Why would I like rugby?
It's like boring football
Our football
College rugby is a popular drinking club. Teams below college are almost unheard of.
Perhaps equally or more popular among women especially lesbians.
That reminded me when we blew your team like 9-4 with our H team
That was so weird
I actually though the team who was starting a guy who had been playing rec league soccer in Florida had a chance to win
it takes the worst aspects of soccer and combines it with the worst aspects of football
the concept is ok, but there's too many players not doing much and little scoring
sevens is more likely to take off outside conventional markets, can work a lot better with tv
Yeah and Arena football is better than NFL
Completely different
Canada takes the worst aspects of America and combines it with the worst aspects of France
better than the worst aspects of England combined with Ireland
i like hokkie
me 2
It's shit, user. You need to accept that.
The world is 90% based, and doesn't care about your little commonwealth pommey club.
american football has around 11 minute of actual playtime. rugby has at least 70 minutes if you find kicks to be boring. the game is more fluid and intense as a tackle or an interception doesnt stop the game.
>why doesn't the world enjoy a bunch of fat islanders groping each other
Gee I wonder
>posts an informative reply
>gets no reply from the person asking for it
feel bad for you desu
The best hemisphere
In the last WC 4 from 4 semi finalists were from SH, and the WC was hosted in Europe
It was just a rethorical question, who cares about georgia kek
>the best hemisphere
>worst posters on Sup Forums are literally argies, hues and australians
Canadians, Americans and Finns are the worst posters
Depends on what you want, there are three types of rugby: union, league and sevens
Union and sevens are the same, and the most dynamic, they have the same rules. The only difference is in the amount of players, sevens has seven players on the field and union has 15 players.
League stops for a short while after a tackle, making it the less fluid game, but it's still a fats game.

Rugby seven match (it's short)

Did you watch it during the Olympics? pretty good
I like Rugby seven because it's the only type of rugby where Portugal is a bit better than utter shit.
Excluding those nations where rugby is a tradition, we're actually good in rugby sevens. But it's not as popular as the 15-player version.
I'd just like any kind of rugby to be popular in portugal desu. I fancy this sport.
this el argentiANO
no more than 3000 people practice it, how do you expect a pro league?
Mong. The kiwi said
"Country is not a member means that country is poor"
A poor team which is a member isn't a counter-example to that statement
Fluidity doesn't mean shit if it's passing the ball back and forth
Might as well watch divegrass
Meh I expect support for the people that DO practice it.
Isn't there a professional basketball league?
I like rúgbi
