Both codes of rugby are great, I enjoy watching both.
From this point on, I'm blocking anybody, from either rugby code, who can't celebrate their sport without trying to denigrate the other.
It's a sign of insecurity and never something I hear from ex-players, who understand the different skill sets of both.
