Rugby and cricket aren't African games... Isn't even African origin...
And besides, Rugby is a winter sport... These are not African games....

Very few exposed African individuals has the idea of the game...

what does being african got to do with it ?

football is not african the modern football has its roots in UK

the reason why soccer is found everywhere is becoz it doesnt require much it can be played anywhere

while sports like rugby and cricket needs good green fields and equipment, hence by both colonisation and funding, black would not bother take part in such sports

So far my country has won the rugby world cup twice, but I know nothing about it the same way I know nothing about cricket and football... grin grin grin

But I think if I can give myself some time to understand cricket and golf, I'd eventually love them because those two sports are not noisy... They're quiet and give the person an opportunity to focus.

Yes do you understand how the game cricket and rugby works? Because it seems majority of nigerians don't understand those games..

My secondary school was Nigerian schools cricket champions in my final year. I should have gone on the trip as a reserve but chickened out.

There are actually two codes of Rugby, one is Rugby union and the other is Rugby league. Sorry for showing off sha.

Cricket in India has always been more than just a sport; it's a religion that unites the nation. And when its cricket world cup and in India than the excitement is limit less. Everyone look for the updated score, latest cricket updates, stats and records and Fantasy Khiladi is one of the best online platform I have found.

Rugby is no different to football, there's a pitch and a ball, so how can rugby be a winter sport and football not?

Rugby is not American, it originated in a small English town called Rugby

I only know that one person use plank to throw the ball with force and another person try to catch the ball. I don’t know anything else about the sports. It look very boring to me.

I like rugby because it is masculine. You need to hold the ball with power and dribble your way to the finish line

What do you mean they aren't African games. South African just won the world cup. Zimbabwe is a very strong Rugby country. Same thing Namibia. Nambia also has a strong cricket team, having beaten some of the strongest teams in the world like Sri Lanka.

The English introduced Cricket to India, and India just ran away with it. Today, they have a team that is much stronger than the English team.

Is football an African game?
Even athletics and the other sports are they African games?
In short,going by your line of reasoning,name a true African sports game

ZIMDRILL:


you failed to mention the most important thing when passing the ball to your team mate, your team mate the one recieving the ball has to be at an angle that he is behind the one throwing the ball aka if you are standing with your arms strethed out 180 degrees, and any degree above 180 degree towards your back is considered as proper pass, if you pass from an degree angle 180 degree forwards your front is called a forward pass then called a forward pass its a foul your lose the ball and its given to the opponet

If you look carefully every pass in rugby is given to the person behind the one who has the ball
if they keep passing the ball backwards, how are they going to move forward?
2ndly, what's the difference between rugby and American football?

Of course, like any other game, the winning team has to score more goals than the other playing team.

Other than that, I just see grown men chasing after a ball like little boys.
Hilarious... cheesy
