The All Blacks (New Zealand) always start the game with a traditional Maori Haka.

Here is a montage of classic English rugby tries. (for you newbies a try is like a touchdown in American football)

I played it at school in bloody Hull, it was a dirty muddy wet cold game.
Like US football but without any protection. Well maybe a gumshield. "Rugby song" anyone?
Just google it.
Half the players lose their teeth it seems and they is all without exception built like brick shit houses. Big boys.
I was a hooker at skool. Titter ye not, nay!
England stuffed Scotland in the Six Nations on Saturday. In the Scottish borders Rugby is very very big. Hawick, Galashiels, Jedburgh. I always liked Wasps myself - cool name for a Sports team. Also popular with the lassies as they seem to like these Jocks of the elongated ball. Well at least two I knew at Edinburgh University did anyway.
Blah
Cheerio.

In the North of England I would say more so and where there are public schools. Well I played it in Hull. Down South it was football. South Wales definitely in the valleys boyo and near steel towns.
+ there are 2 versions of rugger. Rugby League and Rugby Union.
Here's one aspect of the Scottish game. Google:
uppies and doonies
for a glance at ball games in Scottish towns. Kirkwall in Orkney and Jedburgh in the borders.
Some speculation that in place of balls, human heads may have once been used but I can't comment on that. Especially as the game was invented at Rugby public school
Yours Aye.

Yeah I think in the U.K rugby can be assocoated with public schools & university etc Oxford etc. Soccer is more the working mans game. Maybe I am being to sterotype here.
In Australia & New Zealand though Rugby very popular and the staple game. Soccer almost does not exist.
In Aus & N.Z the aguement is Rugby Union vs Rugby League, For International purposes it is all union though and that is what I like to watch. In Australia they also have the very popular Aussie Rules.
I used to play rugby union in school in N.Z. Love the game.
