Does your country play rugby at all? Or a version of it?

Bonus question: What is the origin of your rugby-like game? From what I understand a lot of rugby derivatives came to be because Rugby union refused to go pro until 1995.

In NZ rugby is the main sport, though it has been losing participation due to health concerns and changing demographics (at least with the guys. Womens rugby has actually gotten popular recently which is cool) . We are still great at it though.

To those from countries who don't really play either sport, between Baseball and Cricket which seems the more interesting game? or are they both equally uninteresting to you?

Bonus question: Which bat would you rather have as a self defense weapon?

I'm from a cricket playing nation, but weridly I pefer baseball. Cause honestly cricket can be kinda seen as a snooty white person game in NZ (I'm Maori so that colours my perception). Plus Indians but thats a more recent development.

Why did Europe for the most part never get into Bat and Ball sports (Cricket mostly)? Considering they are close to the UK I thought at least cricket would be popular.

I'm a Kiwi for those interested. Rugby is the biggest thing here but cricket is a solid second (I pefer baseball but I'm a werido)
