Phew! Goalpost shifted! We are off to Teniis !! Obi, what is it? Every country in the World gives a shiet about Rugby, except that its not for sissies. Those countries that do well in the sport have REAL MEN. You must be really joking to give SA as an example of a country that excels well in a niche sport. SA is global power in SPORT, not even comparable to you. You should even be ashamed of yourself. Just google NICHE SPORTS and come back here with the answers like a good student tomorrow. You can also google top sports in the world. Thank you

Yes.....people of West African origin - the most naturally explosive body type in the world - are sissies who can't play Rugby, while Kenyans, Tongans, Fijians, and Samoans are.

I Googled and these articles refer to Rugby as a niche sport.

The very fact you need me to google that for you is amusing. For the overwhelming majority of countries in the world, Rugby is a niche sport. The clue is in what the word "niche" means. And again, as I stressed earlier, regardless of whether Rugby is a niche sport or not (that is relative depending on what standards you measure by), Rugby 7s is DEFINITELY a niche sport. Arguing against that is just being obtuse.

TayserMahiri:


Well, I can see you and your 2 cheerleaders who liked that post have some really bad grammar. But its cool

Btw, what is it with Nigerians and the love for cheerleading.

I go through threads here and see how the dumbest posts get the most likes.

Yet, you're the one who has typed much of the unintelligible dribble here. And kept rambling about what nobody understands and what you seem incapable of expressing.
Yeah, Kenyans here are certainly not been backslapping each other. Can you attempt to retain some maturity in the thread?

mtis:


Dude lets just say you have no idea what rugby is an ya trying to look smarty on the topic..

When did I ever claim to know anything about Rugby? That's the very point - that very few countries gives 2 shiits about Rugby, and even less gives a shiit about Rugby 7s which is barely a professional sport that more than a few dozen players can earn a living from. This all came from somehow enviously trying to denigrate our football victory over Argentina with childish digs.

Budgets for 2017/2018:
South Africa: $116 billion
Egypt: $45 billion

Somalia: $275 million

Kenya and East-Africa’s longest zip line tour in Kereita Forest, Kiambu County.

This Flying Fox experience stretches over 2.2 kilometers of forest, making it longer than the World famous Zip 2000 of Sun City, SA , and is possibly also the longest in Africa.

This place is my home area! Along with fly fishing,paintballing and archery,the dir. told me they're also building a rifle range,making it the perfect weekend getaway. If they improve their high school boarding type food they'll be top tier.

Too bad for Africa ! Why did they give it to that terror hotbed of a country

I blame Buhari for this , Buhari why na? . His terrorism gang has made the world to think africa is a terrorist endorsing zone . Thunder fire Buhari nyash . I also blame all the onyibos of SA since everything is pointed to them about SA , they are to blame for this too if there was no onyibo in SA we would have won this bid thunder fire them .

Enough of all that rugby talk
B4 u infect us and we start playing shit football

Nigeria is wealthier than south Africa

Not long before Zuma must fall protesters litter my TV screen after most of the budget has been stolen

Or black south Africans carrying play cards white farmers must fall


Or the regular looting that has become a tradition ;Dooo we are hungry we want free education white farmers must fall kikikikiki oo bish please

TayserMahiri:


Ofcos I know bro ! But streaming matches is not a free for all affair. They must dish out some cash to the league to get those rights, and its often expensive and why many national broadcasters dont provide free live sport. It can easily run the entity into financial strain if they dont make enough money and the govt decides to stop the funding for such. Not to mention it can negatively impact match attendance in stadia and be counterproductive in that way.

Streaming local matches is much much cheaper than streaming international ones, and when considering the goals Government has set its a no-brainer that local rugby and cricket should be broadcasted by SABC, why just Soccer?

Also crowd attendance in SA is not really effected by the fact that its broadcasted on TV(or not) but rather if the team is preforming or not.

Because soccer is already an established Olympic sport (many argue it shouldn't be). Rugby wasn't, so they chose a version of it without much of a professional history (just like they chose softball over pro-baseball). Most international players of Rugby 7s play it for the love of the game and there are barely dozens of players worldwide that can make a real pro career out of it.

You do realize Rugby 7s is fully professional in USA,SA,NZ,AUS,ENG,FIJI,SAMOA,KENYA,SCOTLAND,FRANCE,ARG,JAPAN,WALES,CANADA,PORTUGAL ect ect ect ( I could name more)

BTW Rugby 7s has been professional for exactly the same time as Rugby 15s, so what professional history are you talking about?.....as you said yourself you barely know anything about it, so why would you argue what you don't know?

LMFAO, wealthier than south Africa yet your budget says otherwise . The fact that you don't even understand the significance of a big budget tells me you are one of the many Nigerians that think hdi is nonsense lol. Go read a book about this topic.


Lol, frustrated people who want regime change protest against zuma everyday and write all sorts of articles and books against him daily and zuma is still their president and will remain so till 2019 #fact. Zuma is a democraticly elected president and will leave that position when Nkosaza dlamini zuma takes over in 2019 and no amount of noise will change this . The fact that you take those protests seriously tells me how clueless you are about the topic.

Lol, I thought it was white farmers that protested against farm murders , yours is news to me .


SA students ain't cowards like you . They fight for the poor ones to get free education which is their right and these young revolutionaries are going to achieve that goal. With the wealth SA has there is no reason why higher education should not be free. By the way the current education budget is around 38 million and is and it will be increased to 50million which is almost 2 times your national budget . SA is not your mate boy, deal with that.


I still don't understand why you brought up all of these did the budget thing hit deep ?

Let's all pray for our brothers in Zimbabwe, something fishy is going on there.

TayserMahiri:


There's no reason why Nigerians cant be mad and criticize their country with the type of images I keep seeing.

And I am sure you are comfortable with your high official corruption, huge slums and tiny inconsequential economy . Your incessant election violence tells a different story though.

TayserMahiri:


These guys know nothing. No Rugby beats HSBC 7s series, except maybe the WC. We should tell them its like a Champions League of Nations maybe they'll understand.

lets not go overboard here!! 7s is like what T20 is to cricket. Its an awesome spectacle but 15s is the real test.

That said the fact that Rugby7s is an Olympic sport puts it equal to the rugby WC in terms of prestige.

Fully professional? I guess it's all about semantics but if about a 18 or so players each in Kenya, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa etc get paid like $10,000 to $20,000 a year to play international tourneys (the monthly take-home-pay of Kenyan players on their current contract is about $700 a month with tournament bonuses), I would say the sport has professionals, but comparative to some other sports, pitifully few players can make a real professional living. Even in the rich countries like New Zealand and Australia, the players contracted with the national team would earn about as much as they do if they had regular pen-pushing office jobs.

Tbh, I'm deviating here. Rugby 7s is a niche sport with a pretty small professional circuit.

Kenya's budget is bigger when per capita is taken into consideration. They are a country of 50 million while Nigeria is a country of 180 million.

ApexPredator:

Each of Nigeria's 36 states has it's own budget which is financed by a combination of federal allocation, Igr,foreign aids and loans. Nigerian states do not have limited responsibilities like Kenyan counties. The budget of Oyo state for example is larger than Nairobi's. But the problem of all black Africa remains corruption and lack of full budget implementation. All the same Uhuru seems quite serious.

rugby 7s!? you might as well mention synchronized swimming too as a sport everyone cares about.

just stick to your athletics. you boasting about rugby 7s is if nigerians boasted about scrabble which is even better because we were at least former world champs.

please play the full rugby union if you guys are serious about the sport and not some watered down sissified version you keep trolling this thread with. just to also let you know american football which is a corrupted version of rugby has many nigerian americans who excel in the sport. so if we want to play rugby we will play it but like another poster said we don't care much for it

Well yeah, they should be sissies or else what do we call an army that runs away from terrorists? Its not about explosive bodies. Those articles you provide are just referring to Rubgy in the same way this article refers to soccer as a niche sport !

http://worldsoccertalk.com/2017/09/27/soccer-still-niche-sport-country-4-factors-can-contribute-growth/

Niche sports include games like drag racing. The thing with Rugby, and especially 7s is that the gap between competitive nations and the not so competitive ones is so big that it essentially excludes some of the more weak countries (like Nigeria ) from participation in the sevens series because they would be wasting people's time! Why bother having a team that gets beaten 100 - 0 when there are better things to do? What we are saying is, raise your standards and stop whining! We will start considering your explosive bodies.

SA stood the highest chance of winning the bid. I'm not sure, those Frenchmen definitely played some underhanded stuff, I heard they whizzed the secret ballot. They were under immense pressure to save face in the face of terror attacks that have made them what you said
