Omoh. I lived outside Nigeria in a country where Indian expats were much than the real owners of the country. I made friends with lots of Indians and they made me fall in love with the beautiful game of CRICKET. I know everything about the game of cricket like the rules and mode of play. Infact I just finished watching the icc world cup 2023 game between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. Cricket is real a fun and fast paced sport.

Rugby,Long Buckby,Nuneaton.etc memories of those Warwickshire towns flooding my memory now.
Mindlog:


You are very wrong, Rugby is not a winter sport just like football.

3 weeks ago, I walked past the school (Rugby School in Warwickshire, England) where the game of Rugby in started in 1823, they are celebrating 200 years of the game with flags of it all over the town and some students of that school where playing rugby under the sun in their various playing fields.....very expensive school, where 14 year olds are paying about N11m per term as day student. cheesy cheesy

Rugby is one Kenya's popular sports likewise South Africa.

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


Cricket: I have some understanding of the game as my dad used to play it when he was younger ( here in Nigeria) and still follows the game.


Rugby: I grew up and went to a private school located close to one of the very few rugby fields in Nigeria, and have been following the rugby world cup since 2011. I like underdogs and I like anime so it's the Brave Blossoms of Japan for me. Still trying to get the rules. Dad hates rugby.

I don't watch both so have no idea how their rules go. I understand a basic amount of baseball and American football. Cricket is not interesting in the least meanwhile rugby will likely have a similar theme to its American counterpart.

We're not indians. What concerns us with cricket game

A lot of Nigerians play and follow cricket.

Also cricket is not an Indian game. Afghans, Dutch, South Africa, Namibians, Zimbabwean, Kenyans, Australian and New Zealand plays cricket

USA has a small cricket playing community

thatigboman:
if they keep passing the ball backwards, how are they going to move forward?
2ndly, what's the difference between rugby and American football?

First there is the scoring convention, then there is no scrum or ruck in American football, and there is no lineout in American football. And then the obvious one, AF players wear helmets and padding because they are allowed to hit their opponents more forceful than rugby
Re: At Your Age'' Do You Understand How Cricket And Rugby Works... by TMKsouth: 6:06pm On Oct 30, 2023
Anyone wishing to learn the game should watch the quicker & shortened versions of the games - they're more interesting for beginners. Rugby Sevens and T20 cricket.

Try in rugby is 5 points. Then the try must be converted by kicking the ball between the goalposts and over the line for an additional two points.

Penalty kicks if kicked between the goal posts give 3 points. If the penalty is to be taken at a point too far from the goalposts, then some kickers kick it into touch near the opposing team's line, for a lineout and an attempt at a try

That’s not true. South Africans are very good when it comes to Rugby. In fact, they have the best men’s rugby team.

With their victory in Paris 2023 Rugby World Cup, South Africa became the first men's side to win the Rugby World Cup four times, and they were also the only team to successfully defend a previous tournament title.

South Africa remain unbeaten in RWC finals, winning all four they have competed in.
