I play for a team called XV aout in the Association Française Folklorique du Rugby (AFFR). We play some extremely attractive rugby. The absence of willing defenders in the opposing team is far more conducive to a flowing game of rugby than the brick wall sides face in the HC and Magners League where Leinster play.
When O'Driscoll finally does break the defense and go over for a try you have to be so quick just to even get a glimpse of him, he's really fast, stupidly fast, so are they all for that matter. In my team, when the guy who smokes and drinks slightly less than the others because he's married punches a hole in the defensive curtain (or fly-net, the defence resembles more of a stringy pourous texture) you have all the time in the world to watch this determined web designer trundle uphill towards the goal posts. Nobody ever chases him but this doesn't necessarily mean that the action and suspense is over. Last season he tripped in a pot-hole around the 22m line and sprained his ankle. Once, some new guy, a communications coordinator for a multinational gas company, came charging on his inside and our rocket man panicked and lobbed out a forward pass - we didn't have a ref though so instead of a scrum we had a fight with the opposition and the match was subsequently abandoned. Since then we've made it very clear to all of the forwards that support is what you get when you've drunk so much you're in tears.
You don't have to be professional to play attractive rugby, come and play some amateur rugby in France and you'll see how the French love to throw the ball around like a bunch of work-shy pansies who wouldn't know a ruck if one landed on their heads.

Yes. Despite Leinster having an excellent set of backs, who can produce some very good rugby to watch, there are other sides that are just as good/better in terms of attractive rugby on their day.
In the Northern Hemisphere, Toulouse and Llanelli Scarlets play exciting rugby as highlighted in their recent Heineken Cup encounters. I think along with Leinster these 3 sides are playing the most attractive rugby at the moment.
There are also several Southern Hemisphere teams that play exciting games for example the Hurricanes and the Stormers in Super 14.

Maybe because rugby people are more professional? Anyway - we are also united for showjumping, hockey and boxing alongside many other sports. The IFA was broken away from in the 1920's by soccer teams in the Republic who then set up their own association.

Not every team no, but this question really depends on if you are asking about club rugby or ANY team :)
