This is the tri-nation rugby union. Its anual (i think) and consists of aussie, south africa and nz. It's not very big over here but I like rugby

Not really, there's only 1 footy league to follow and that's the premiership there's no other contest really. the prem really is the place to be. With rugby union I mostly watch internationals and cups, same with rugby league  I dont watch aussie league games, just english clubs

Well, i guess from a NA point of view...u have the german leagues, france leagues, english and italian leagues always on tv...and they never have any scheduals like hockey games IE If the Leafs play say Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday this week, next week they will play Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (Hockey Night in Canada = reason to drink in the winter lol)

No schedule?  all games are played on a saturday at 3:00 kickoff. That applies for ALL english leagues (premiership, campionship, league 1 + league 2) Some games have an early kickoff (12:45) or a late 1 (5:30) but 90% of them are at 3. Most weeks there will also be matches played by the remaining teams on a sunday. This might be because they need time to recover from a mid-week cup competition. Everywhere they use the same system too its just they might be 4 hours behind because of time zones
Football teams only play 1 match a week, and sometimes 2 but hardly ever 2 from the same competition in a 1 week period.

Well, seeing as you probably dont care much about soccer it seems alot to you. Before i cared about NHL and AHL it all seemed a bunch of nonsense to me with all the different conferences etc. But then i started paying attention and it's not at all hard.
Same thing with soccer really, the big exception is that there are alot more "talented" players so the leagues all have their stars. The big leagues; spainish primera, italian serie a, english premiere league all have their own attraction (as opposed to NHL that has ALL the stars, the only league that is interesting, if that is good or bad is up to each individual).
Each soccer-nation has a first division, second division etc. Then each country has a cup where all teams regardless of division face eachother. The winners of the cup and the winners of the first division gets to represent their country in the UEFA champions league. That's a big simplification though, some countries get more than one team into the champions league and some get none etc.
And btw, more leagues equals more games equals more fun
