Rugby, popularly known as rugby (sometimes also written as rugby) is a contact sport team born in England.

It is very popular in the four nations comprising the United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) and three of its former British colonies (Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) and in Ireland, France, Italy and Argentina.

Apart from the above countries, rugby is practiced in all continents, with varying degrees of popularity and international competitiveness. In Africa it is popular, influenced by South Africa, Namibia, Kenya and Zimbabwe, and French influence in Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, and Morocco.

Practice in America mainly in Argentina, where it has deep roots and whose team has won the third place in the Rugby World Cup 2007. It is also practiced in other American countries, including Canada, USA, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, and somewhat less in Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Peru and Ecuador. In Asia, the most prominent team is Japan. In the rest of Europe, highlights Italy, which participates in the Six Nations Tournament. There is also widespread in other countries in Europe, especially Portugal, Spain and Eastern European countries, like Romania, Georgia and Russia. In Oceania, influenced by Australian and New Zealand, rugby is also a popular sport in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa, the birthplace of prominent players in the international arena.

In April 2010, 116 national unions were recognized by the International Rugby Board, the federal association that regulates the sport in the world.

From the very origins of rugby and football, when both sports are separated in the mid-nineteenth century, both were presented in opposition of the other: strength against skill, fair play against unfair play, and so on. An old British saying that “football is a gentleman’s game played by villains and rugby is a game played by gentlemen villains.” In rugby is characteristic respect for the rules to both players practice the public.

The referee’s decisions are seldom discussed by the players. In international matches between teams and many of the European Championships as the Top 14 can be used, at the request of the referee, the replay of the plays produced in the in goal in doubt. The revision of these plays is in charge of a fourth official called TMO (Television Match Official), although the final decision always corresponds to the referee. In addition, it encourages sociability, occurring usually between teammates and opponents a cordial meeting after the game, called third time, along with referees, coaches and the public, to talk about the game. This term has been extended to the media which discusses the sport.

Imbibing the appropriate beverage in a social situation is an absolute art form, one of the lost gentlemanly arts. At the pub, what you drink shows what kind of a person you are, and more importantly, the type of person that you want to have around you. It is a way of putting your personal preferences aside (or perhaps indulging them more) to show camaraderie – also a lost gentlemanly art.

However, with the selection of beverages that one has today, there is not a need to forego a personal preference simply to show others who you are. There are plenty of watered down things to drink, strong beverages – but nothing quite like a Guinness beer.

Having yourself a Guinness while watching the rugby game says that you are here not only because you want to have fun and become inspired watching the only sport that has not been taken over by corporate interests and huge egos, but also that you want to share this understood moment with others without having to shout it out over the pub.

This is what a Guinness beer does for you.

What Guinness says about you is that you don’t care about the money that is being exchanged. You are not impressed by the commercials that a player has. You care about the game, the competition, the sweat, blood and tears, and only that. Everyone out on the field leaves it all out there, win or lose. And that is how the Guinness drinker lives his life.

Guinness has never been the watered down beer that less astute pub crawlers seem to gravitate towards these days. It is an exclusive taste for an exclusive kind of guy – the kind of guy who still values raw integrity, honor, and statesmanship. It is the beer that values honesty and pure, righteous competition. No hiding here. You can’t hide on the rugby field and you can’t hide from a Guinness beer. If you are not looking to actually taste what you are drinking, then you should not be drinking Guinness.
