I’ve been watching the World Cup rugby today, the match between South Africa and Fiji, and dear god, I’ve enjoyed it so much. The sport is so fair, so honest… It’s everything football isn’t, but ought to be.
If you compare rugby to football, it becomes painfully obvious just how much football has sunk into its own pit of misery; a pit filled with dirty money, dishonesty, backstabbing, and nepotism.

Thom, nice to see your enjoying the rugby.
Yesterday’s game was very stessfull for me, seeing that I’m a South African. The other games of the weekend was also very enjoyable, as our biggest rivals (Australia and New Zealand) are now on thier way back home.
Anyway, love the blog and love OSNews. Keep it up.

Soccer/football: A gentleman’s game played by thugs.
Rugby: A thug’s game played by gentlemen.
American Football: An idiot’s sport played by idiots.

Yes, international rugby is great - let’s hope we see a Dutch team in the World Cup (or Six Nations) one day. :)
