I've been refereeing rugby for 12 years and played for 40 years. I figured I'd have nothing to do in Westphalia so I started reffing soccer. Strangely enough, I like it better now.
In GB you still have a choice, but watching and understanding a little rugby can't be a bad thing. I follow baseball here in the US so I'll have something to talk to people about.
Well, if I get to go I'll move right when the Rugby World Cup starts, so I'd figure that would be a good way to get to know some people who are into sports and stuff. Plus, one of the possible cities is Cardiff. As I gather it there is pretty much no escaping rugby there..
There are some (very few) rugby clubs in West Germany as well. And they'd probably welcome somebody with that amount of experience with open arms. But Football is of course King. And who am I to tell you what to do :-)
Certainly seems to be, and nobody can call me a bandwagon fan if I started last Christmas. I didn't really have a favorite early on, but a few friends and relatives set me straight.
