I've always wondered, which is more irrelevant between Canada and New Zealand?
>>
>>52107255

New Zealand is famed for its rugby (best team in the world, by a long way), its sheep, its vast open spaces of green landscape, and also the Maori people.

Australia is pretty different. Australians prefer rugby LEAGUE to rugby union, but neither is as big in Oz as Aussie Rules Football is (at least I think so). Cricket is important to them too. Aussies have miles and miles of red desert, instead of green landscape, which is much more sparse. Aussies tend to be more loud-mouthed I think. They have an opinion for being pretty opinionated. Aussies have the Aborigines, who look pretty different to Maoris really, and I think they are a smaller percentage of Aus society, and also less well integrated.

I guess Australia is more like the US and New Zealand more like the UK? Australians love big and bold and brazen, and I think Kiwis are perhaps more reserved, have lots of green countryside, but still have a big passion for their rugby team.

>a sheepfucker believes in the memes

>>52107514
Sort of correct. Australian rules football and cricket are much bigger than rugby here, as you said. Australia has plenty of vegetation, rainforests, snow, etc. The main reason most people don't think so is because the center of our country is desert. However the areas where people actually live has plenty of vegetation, including Tasmania which is pretty much a smaller New Zealand in itself.

On the 'personality' stuff you mentioned, I think you'd be a fool to stereotype any country's people that way. Australia gets characterised from people's knowledge from movies like Crocodile Dundee and people like Steve Irwin. In reality, these types of people make up a minority of society and that type of accent and character is thought to be dying (unfortunately).

I'm an outsider, and I've never been to Oz, so yeah maybe I'm wrong. Okay you clearly have a strong left-wing streak in your country, e.g. Julia Gillard, and a couple of Aussies I met at uni were quite left-wing, but still, Australia makes me think of beer, sports, V8 supercars, and big fat truck-driving guys like my uncle, who told us he was emigrating to Australia because "the Muslims are taking over Britain".

>>52107622

Football is not very popular at all in Aus or NZ. Perhaps they do share a league, I don't know, but I doubt anybody watches it.

For Aussies, the most watched sports are probably AFL, rugby league, and cricket. For Kiwis I'm guessing it's rugby union, assuming they have a good domestic league for it? I don't really know.
>>

>>52107730

Fair enough yes I guess I did stereotype. Maybe Steve Irwin is making me think that, and Flight of the Concords is why I think of Kiwis as more reserved.

Would you not say there are any personality differences between you and NZ then? There must be some.

E.g., people always say that Brits are reserved and have the stiff upper lip. Obviously that's not true of EVERYBODY in the UK but it does identify a very true thing about our culture, where we do keep things to ourselves, and aren't very emotionally brazen, generally. And then people say that the Spanish are very emotional, and the Germans are very stern and work hard. Obviously they are generalisations but all of them do have truth to them.
>>
>>52107766
>Australia makes me think of beer, sports, V8 supercars, and big fat truck-driving guys

This is all true, but we still retain the general disdain towards rich fuckers since most of us descend from anglo saxons anyway. if it weren't for issues like boats and aboriginals, most australians would be considered left wing.

but trust me, if you bring up politics with your mates or family they will probably give you a confused look and then shift the conversation. loud mouthery is shunned here
>>
>>52107909

Fair enough. And I know that Oz gets behind their national team too sometimes, like they did quite well last year. Got some good players like Tim Cahill. But still I just thought they're not that popular there.

What are the most popular sports for NZ? Do you have a strong domestic rugby union league? Is cricket as popular there as in Australia? Any other sports?
>>
>>52107955
>Would you not say there are any personality differences between you and NZ then? There must be some.

No, because we're individual people and not living stereotypes. If we had the same accent as New Zealanders, no one would be able to accurately pick who was from what country.
>>
>>52107955
the stereotype is that New Zealanders are more reserved
And apparently the standard for NZ "manliness" causes a lot of depression for men.
>>
>>52108062

Rugby Union is the big one but people watch meme sports like cricket (people here are terrible bandwagoners for the black caps and drop them pretty fast if they're not playing well though) Netball (if they're women or its a world cup) and League/basketball (if they're brown) as well
>>

Football is gaining more popularity, but the main sports are Rugby in the winter and cricket in the summer
We have 2 main rugby tournaments, the Super 15 spans teams from New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. And there's provincial stuff as well.
We have a meme20 tournament for cricket as well, the final was last night and about 8 people watched it

New Zealand is very green and beautiful all throughout the whole country, and Australians are mostly concentrated around the coast because there's a lot more desert and brush throughout the middle of the country and in the west.

Kiwis are more proud of their multiculturalism while Aussies have a reputation for being racist even though there's a decent amount of minorities there. And somehow, despite being quite racist, they manage to be uber-liberal on basically every other issue.

And Kiwis are only slightly more introverted than Aussies, both have pretty "sunny" dispositions.

That's a pretty good description of the differences. Literally what sports we watch and our natives.

We definitely prefer League to Union, If you wanted to split it up Australia is about 80% League, 20% Union. The answer to what is more popular: AFL or NRL will depend entirely on who you ask. AFL has a much higher game attendee numbers, but NRL has higher TV ratings, and the big NRL games like the Grand Final, State of Origin and International games always get higher numbers than the AFL Grand Final. It's fair to say they're about as popular as each other, but their fans are in completely different areas, NRL is popular in Queensland and New South Wales (Which do make up 50% of Australias population), AFL is popular everywhere else. If you combined Union & League into just Rugby, It would be fair to say Rugby is marginally more popular than AFL.

Incorrect. If you look at any income figures, the AFL dwarves pretty much everyone else combined. I mean, NRL could only manage $1.8b for their TV rights, while the AFL got $2.5b.

Well, Australia was founded by convicts and Poms who got tricked into coming over thinking it would be good. The Kiwis were all free men, Dutch or something I think, which really impacted their culture. The Kiwis are actually more laid back as a result, but for the most part they're pretty similar. The major cities in both countries are basically Asian at this point though.

Our multiculturalism is more of a tourism thing. Maori culture is more advanced and generally better than Australia's aboriginal culture.

It's not that we're racist, but that "minorities" are so sensitive and take offence at you looking sideways at them. Fucking softcocks.

Most people don't give a fuck about race as long as you're mindful of where you are and whose culture belongs here (ie: not yours).

We've been multiethnic for a long time but this multicultural bullshit is a very recent thing. Nobody gave a fuck in my early years but from the late 90s onwards it was being pushed harder and harder.
