Or alternatively 2 teams giving 110% with no play acting(conning the ref) or feigning injuries for 80 mins. You just need to watch the national anthems to see what it means to both sets of players, dissimilar to the over paid tools that couldn't care less as theres not enough money playing for the England football "team" is there? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Exactly. Pain is pain so when these guys can get hit full on, blood streaming from their nose and yet just get on with it, it just shows up the pathetic antics of premier league players clutching their faces at the slightest touch trying to con everyone. Have watched football much longer but have been a convert to rugby precisely for this reason - good hard fair contests | ![](/images/avatars/1651.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Stuffing the taffs on 07:51 - Feb 7 with 3012 views | deeplishblue | International RU is the only form of rugby that I can be bothered to watch. Even then I find it frustrating. It's never clear why the penalties are given. And the number of times the scrum collapses is ridiculous. I'd they could sort that our it would be more watchable. I remember 2 years ago when England needed to beat Wales to win the grand slam, the ref gave a succession of penalties against England and you could see the players didn't have a clue what was going on. Wales ended up winning by 20 points. [Post edited 7 Feb 2015 7:53]

Whilst it might not have some of the antics of the Premiership prima donnas, it does seem a great deal of RU is trying to force penalties out of the opposition, and was pretty much what the English RU success of 10 years or so ago was based upon. If a game is based around winning penalties, is that so widely different from what the diving divas do? | ![](/images/avatars/1006.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

You are right up to a point in that both sports have tactics to win penalties e.g a fast winger running into a penalty box and is fouled to give a penalty. The difference is that in football far more fouls and penalties are given when there was no contact i.e diving, or players holding their face etc when there was little or no contact. Cheating may creep into rugby ( e.g bloodgate) as the financial stakes get higher, but they are nowhere near as bad now | ![](/images/avatars/1651.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Not too dissimilar. Lots of England's finest batsmen faecaling themselves, outdoors, in public. [Post edited 7 Feb 2015 12:22]
