Soccer vs. Rugby

good point about the world stage, and us footballers do exaggerate ever full speed knock.

By "cheating" I meant diving. On an International level, no rugby player fakes an injury. Sure you get hands in the ruck, putting the ball in skew in the scrum, but you don't get the type of cheating that rubbishes your opponent. Wilkinson isn't a playboy either. He doesn't go around with gel in his hair, driving a Ferrari to parties in Monte Carlo or LA. He's nothing like the likes of a Beckham, a Ronaldo etc.

True no rugger would ever take a dive. That would be the ultimate sin on the rugby field. But thats what I meant the hands in the ruck, obstruction, feeding the scrum. Stuff like that is very common. See thats funny you say that about Wilkenson, because the perception on him is that he is a playboy and is the pretty boy of rugby.
