If it’s so popular, why have we ALWAYS had a national team (which is an expression of the movement) that sucks? Why don’t I see children playing or rugby fields around Italy???

Smarty, are you trying to tell me that rugby has more registered players than volleyball and basketball or swimming or tennis??? Are you sure??? For me, it’s rhetoric, because for the other 200 sports where nothing happens in the stands, they don’t always talk about it this much. Then I admit that if so many people have misunderstood me, I must have made some mistake; the tone must have been a bit too provocative.

We won the Europeans with the best player of the tournament (Gioli) on the field. I admit that the last World Cup was more unusual compared to our usual ways of winning. Of course, there must also be great harmony in a winning team (who denies it), but this time there weren't many "individualities" except for Buffon and Cannavaro (for once, the defenders were decisive).
Generally, we have won thanks to absolute phenomena. It’s not a law, it's a "trend"; there are exceptions too. However, I would like to point out that the victory in the last World Cup was also favored by the fact that the stars of other teams had a spectacular flop in that tournament.
It's not the case to insult a know-it-all.

But who the hell says that rugby shouldn't be played? Stop putting words in my mouth that I haven't said. I argue (among other things) that the eighty thousand in Milan are not a reflection of the popularity of this game (maybe, even though I don't like it) but the result of a media bombardment. To deny that sports are also a cultural matter related to the historical and geographical characteristics of the places where they are situated is superficial and shortsighted ANATAS.

I’ve come to the conclusion. Just as in the USA soccer will never be followed and in Egypt they will never have skiing champions, rugby doesn’t fit our individualism. Hoping to be proven wrong by the facts. Bye and thanks.

Your take on "dark side of the moon" I think is even more embarrassing. You win, know-it-all.

Ridiculous was to "underline" according to the thesis of my review the senseless exodus. A further small provocation not directed at those who truly love this sport. By the way... have you noticed that none of those who were there just because it's cool had the courage to speak up? And I don't think it was because there weren't any...

Ok gasta, caveman was meant to refer in a non-offensive manner to a "primordial" nature that is an essential component along with that of more refined tactics and scientific coordination. It's still one of the most recognizable traits of a rugby player... I think of Chabal... heheheh. I know, I know, they’re not all like the ogre, come on, have you forgiven me??? hehehe

No, not you telespalla. But many got worked up without understanding the meaning of the review. I don't love it but I respect it a lot. I think I've demonstrated that in all my posts. Then if I say it’s a pain in the ass or that it hits like rhinos and we fight like blacksmiths, it's superficial but also to bring a smile, not to offend.

Well, gasta, at a high level you have to be a bit of a brute and a caveman (and I say this without disdain) otherwise they'll tear you to pieces, my dear uncle. I'm all for "minor" sports; hopefully, this football-centric mentality will really change (even though I love football). I've never regarded the true fans of any other lower-ranked sport as REAL, mind you. I fear that the setting of Meazza had little to do with sports and with the true (noble) values of rugby and a lot to do with glamour and media conditioning. But I hope I’m wrong.
