Favourite rugby nation other than your own?
Who is your 2nd favourite rugby nation?
Other than your own wonderful nation, who is 2nd in command? Please don't cheat! Evil beady eye is watching.

Argentina man. Just such a passionate, physical side. Some of my favourite ever players were part of the team that rocked the 2007 RWC like Agustin Pichot, Mario Ledesma and Patricio Albacete. Vamos Los Pumas!

Michalak should be on the Lions tour. Can we make exceptions?

BIAWEL!
Sounds like a fortune 500 pharmaceuticals conglomerate but is actually the abbreviations for
British
Irish
And
Western
European
Lions
Surely a Six Nations super team would beat New Zealand?

I support any smaller nation against the big boys but I went for Georgia, their team is actually full for Georgians rather than 2nd rate Kiwis and they are just a decent back or 2 away from beating the weaker 6 nations teams.

For anyone disputing Gilfach Goch's sovereign status, here is proof of its existence.

Re: Who is your 2nd favourite rugby nation?
Scotland I suppose because of the strong cultural ties between us. I like to see them do well even though they can be like watching paint dry at times...
Next would be the ABs probably. They play the game the way it should be played and just have something mythical about them. Watched a lot of rugby from 1995-97 and the ABs team from that time left a big impression I suppose....
I have a lot of respect for the Welsh but the rivalry between us now is too fierce for me to lend them too much support these days and ...England....well everyone wants to beat England don't they....

Don't really have a second favourite team.
There are not really any teams I dislike and most teams I like for a different reason, I will however shout for the underdog (I think most people do)

Well my Pa is a Welshy, so they are my 2nd team.
I also love watching France play when they are on form and for some reason I love the physical nature of the Boks.

Aotearoa. Their anthem is very similar to my most favourite team but I prefer their version. It sounds more soothing and strangely reminds me of home. I also much prefer their haka. Don't tell Richie...

2nd nation of support is always the underdog in my opinion...! I don't have a list or rank of who i support beyond the team and nation i support.

Is anyone up for forming a Sealand Rugby Union? They have a fencing team, a roller derby team and a football association but not a Rugby team.
We could make this first internet only international rugby XV

Never thought about it that much, partly Scots (meh) but found myself voting France, whose rugby I admire as much as anyone's.

Has to be Samoa, purely for seeing the long intake of breath, when fans realise their national team are due to play them.......and wondering how many of their players will be left standing afterwards......

Re: Who is your 2nd favourite rugby nation?
Scotland for me.
A side that I think so always do so much better than their ranking, even though against us is when they do good, can't see why they are not doing as good as their players and passion said they would... except against us!! ( I know, I repeated that..)

Italy every since I saw Diego Dominguez play, their anthem kicks arse too.
At the RWC, I like to watch the cherry blossoms, ever since 87? when England played them and the TV camera man had trouble tracking their backs cos they were so fast

Italy's national anthem is one of the best there is.
But the Marseillaise is the best.
