15 reasons why being a rugby supporter is better than being a football supporter

11. Fans can Drink at the Games

12. Players Respect the Referee
The amount of abuse dished out to football referees goes too far. There can’t be a game without a referee and yet they are treated as the enemy. In rugby, players can often disagree with officials, but they do so with respect.

14.There is more than one way of scoring points
Variety is the spice of life. Football is simple. The ball crosses the goal-line = 1 goal. In rugby, you’ve got tries, conversions, penalties, penalty tries and drop goals.
