    Rugby , league , and boxing . i cant split them ,

    but i love the ABs more than the other participants ,

    AFL prob comes in there somewhere behind , long time supporter of the tigers

    in my 30s I played baseball and used to follow that , but have lost interest over time ,

    on a participant level, love mountain biking these days , and take a bit of interest in the enduro world series

    1. Rugby
    2. Football
    3. Cricket
    4. Tennis
    5. Table Tennis
    6. Snooker

    Played a bit of the above to varying levels of ineptitude. Have coached Rugby, Cricket and football to kids a bit too.

    Also like watching Horse-racing, Olympic Sports, US sports, Cycling, Rugby League and F1. Enjoy watching most sports really.

    Never really got into MMA, AFL or Golf though.

    Horse Racing, Golf, Footy, Rugby and Cricket.

    Probably watch Horse racing the most out of any of those. Cricket may take over in summer but I'm not sure on that.

    Rugby and Cricket were easy but then it was a case of pick 3 from mot of the rest.

    I don't watch much sport live at all other than cricket and AB tests so went for the ones I bother to follow the most closely which were Tennis (Grand Slams and went to Stanley St for about ten years on the trot), Football - follow most European football and the major tourneys and dip into KP's tipping comps and Americas Cup - watch it all when it comes around. Actually was surprised to see AC given its a cyclical event rather than an ongoing sport.

    Could easily have chosen golf, b'ball or a host of other sports.

    Motorcycle GP racing is missing. Rossi is a genius up there with Carter & McCaw

    Def a spectator. Used to scrape my knees on the sweeper tarmac at Manfield in my youth. I now scrape my bloody knee just getting on the Honda 250... 😎

    @MN5 can you replace one of the options with cycling? Depending on which study you look at, the Tour De France for instance is watched by between 1.4 and 4 billion people. Evidently.

    You’d have to ask a Mod. That’s far beyond my meagre technical knowledge. As I said there are a few that I missed but I can't add to the poll now unfortunately.

    I included this cos I know it's popular. I do love a day at Trentham ( only if there's free piss too ) looking at the nice fillies but couldn't care less about it as a sport.

    Trentham is great! Good facilities and generally a good day out. Long trip for us but I do like going there.

    One of the guys I was with at the Corporate piss up was taking ages to make a pick based on dry tracks, form, weight of the jockey and fuck knows what else. He asked me to pick so I did and it came second last.

    they left me to drink and perve after that.

    When I was growing up it was rugby, racing & beer. Track & field was big too. Nowadays I like rugby, horsies, boxing, baseball and ice hockey.

    It really is just rugby and league for me now. It used to be lots of other sports, probably even three or four years ago I'd have a sports channel running most of the time. Now it's NZ rugby matches, the odd non NZ match, Warriors matches and occasionally a non Warriors NRL match.

    Watching list:

    Rugby
    Motorsport
    AFL
    Olympics (specifically Athletics & Weightlifting)
    Ice Hockey
    Football
    Cricket

    There's a large amount of sports I simply get bored by that others love, namely basketball. Two minutes of footage feels like it's on a loop.
