The fact that rugby and soccer are unequal should not be debatable but generally recognised and accepted.

For those sport-educated minds it is abnormal and derogatory that so much effort and emotions are dedicated to convince us that soccer should follow the example of rugby.

Because of its inherited limitations, unreserved aggression and poor attractive value as compared to other major team games, rugby has limited global acceptance.
