auzmink Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Just thought I'd like to Welcome our Northern Hemi competitors to the World competition. Well done to Canada in the last match. Well done to the USA in their last match.... but the rest is yet to come............ Auzmink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I'll try to keep an eye out for the World Rugby Championships. I went to Cal. A perennial powerhouse in rugby. I would be surprised if there are former Cal players on some of the teams in the World Championships. GO BEARS! When are the games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grouchomg Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 John Cleese once described rugby as "similar to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds for five minutes of you banal ‘commercial messages’ or wearing full kevlar body armour like nannies".

That's creative sports. " title="Applause" /> OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think both of the above statements are correct. The one thing we can't account for is the SPEED and POWER of today's athletes. I think the "ruggers" are just plain TOUGHER! At any rate, I watched the South African Namibia match highlights. I like to root for the underdog. That was painful...86-0! OOGY OOGY OOGY EH EH EH!
