Ultimate Frisbee & Rugby

Ultimate Frisbee & Rugby, just sport or a style of life?!
Many people out there don't even know what is Ultimate or Rugby. Many people don't even know that Ultimate has international tournaments and about Rugby they just think is all about kicking. well it might be about tackling. But NO!
Both of them are about the craic around the game. In this sports the environment is important as well and the lads around are gas men.
Ultimate is about socializing, being fare and dealing with with your own problems. In fact, in Frisbee are no Ref's. The players have to discuss the issues themselves and sort it out. That's what is meant by Fair-Play and Spirit of the Game. People are supposed to be people and to discuss their problems, to get to an agreement, to a common point where both players are happy.
Rugby reveals a style of life, and shows you that the life is tough, you fall, you crash but you always stand up and try to go forward. Everybody is relying on the others, in order to achieve something in this sport you have to have your guys behind you. What amazes me the most about this game is that for every inch forward the whole team has to get a foot back. Is not like other sports. You always have to pass back. You can't pass forward, you have to carry the ball forward.
One thing that drawn my attention to this sports compared to other sports where you just shoot and hope for the best, in this games you have to get the ball/disk in the end zone yourself. You can't just expect the ball or the disk to end up in the end zone. You have to DIY!
