Altough I never played Rugby I do love to watch a great game! And the biggest difference with football is how much respect the rugby players have for the referee! Lot's of football players can learn a lesson from this!
Like in most cases the harder/tougher the sport is, the more respect there is for the ref and the opponent!

I did referee a football game last Saturday and while it was only a friendly between 2 youht team, I still was nervous! Silly me!

Cheers,
Peter
