I feel sorry for people who enjoy rugby missing out on tickets to the game.

Which do you think most clearly states that I feel sorry for rugby fans who missed out on tickets? Or do you have a structure of your own?

I would say, “I feel sorry for the rugby fans who missed out on tickets to the game.”

You are referring to a specific game, but “people who enjoy rugby” is very general and could live thousands of miles away. Of your three, number two is best, since it identifies a specific group of people (the people who enjoy rugby) and a specific game.

I too would say that. I forgot to mention that I didn’t want to include that as an example though, sorry. I was more wanting to focus on what you though about a rel. clause + rel. clause or rel clause + reduced rel clause…

Um…Gosh, I forgot their name… They can’t be that memorable…Oh, that’s right! The Wallabies.

Then your questions should come with instructions.
