      Gentlemen like those rugby players who raped that girl in Ireland? Gentlemen like my university rugby team who used to smash up the union bar and sing songs about hating poor people? Gentlemen like the drunk rugby fans pissing on the trains and platforms at Twickenham Station? Gentlemen like the rugby fans who get arrested for fighting in my local pub every Six Nations? Yeah, real gentleman.

    My dad tells me a story about Martin. My uncle knew a guy who played rugby, his team was playing against Martin bayfield’s old team and Martin had returned after finishing his international career. My uncles friend said “I’m gonna make an impression on this guy, just because he’s ex England doesn’t mean we’ll give him an easy time” so when Martin was in a ruck this guy decided to run at him really hard and clatter into him. Martin, having been nutted in the head by this guys shoulder, said “I’ll see you in the second half” and apparently when he was tackled, my uncle’s friend described it as *agricultural*
    Tl;dr Martin bayfield crunched my uncles friend after he fouled him

    "The nation's second sport, football"....Rugby's inferiority complex with football is absolutely staggering. And joking about smashing up nightclubs - so this sort of behaviour is acceptable when committed by rugby players? Why? Not quite as gentlemanly as they make themselves out to be, are they?

    • @SedleighAdams

      I think it's called "irony". Everything about rugby is inclusive and peaceful, despite being a harsh contact sport. When was the last time "football fans" wrecked a pub / street / someone's bar in the UK or abroad? Almost every week. When was the last time you heard about "rugby violence" amongst players or fans? Martin after-dinner speech is based on irony. Come and meet some rugby fans. Bring your family. They will be entirely safe and have a great day. Try doing that (even today) in the midst of a football (soccer) derby. Actually.... don't. Just in case.

      @@captainroger I think you mean 'woofder' not 'woofders' ; there's only one of me. If you're going to insult me then at least learn how to speak English properly first. So, disliking rugby makes me a 'woofders'? Typical rugby fan response that. It's worrying how quickly rugby fans resort to homophobia to try and win their arguments, which is ironic for a sport with such homoerotic undertones.
