Or is it just a bunch of flat blokes rolling in the mud for an hour and a half as an excuse to get pissed afterwards?
Two minutes before kick off I convince myself its the first one, with 20 minutes to go, when I'm nackered, it begins to feel like the second.
What do you think?

Lacrosse!!
Dont make me laugh. Its a bunch of girls playing hockey but with American Football padding. Might be an ok game without all the padding

of course its the ultimate contest of male dominance -
you have not armour on like american football. There is no protection from injury other than between your legs. There is no kidney pads and shoulder pads like in american football. American Football is the second Ultimate Contest of Male Dominance but Rugby is the Supreme Contest of it. Lacrosse ?? just a bunch of guys with their sticks like hockey. You have nothing do depend of for protection in Rugby - it tests your threshold level ot pain.

Rugby is the finest team game in the world and I'd certainly be interested to see how you get on telling the Gloucester front row they're "a bunch of flat blokes rolling in the mud for an hour and a half as an excuse to get pissed afterwards"!

The answer is all of the above! ;) Some players are really serious about the sport and love it, for others it's a social club like a basketball league or softball league (only much more challenging). Either way, there is a great amount of commradery in the sport of rugby. In every sport there are the men who only care about getting pissed after the match and getting into girls' pants. It's not only rugby.

I would go for ultimate contest! I don't understand how anyone can prefer American Football, Rugby is a much faster and tougher sport!

I do think it a good contest of male dominance, but surely in the sporting world, boxing is the only pure contest. Having said that, boxing does often find its way onto the field in rugby (or street-fighting, not really boxing boxing).

No! That definition still applies to war, sadly the ultimate boys game.

rugby league isn't a bunch of fat blokes rolling in the mud. it's a fast paced team sport for outstanding athletes..

Yeah, it's just muddy fat blokes!
Never mind, rugby players are the most attractive muddy fat blokes I know, better than pig farmers anyway!
