Rugby? Is that some sort of sport?

Yeah - sorta. It's kinda like American "foot"ball, but without the pussy
helmets and padding and sissy chat sessions (what do they talk about?
how they broke a nail? their mascara's all smeared?), actually requiring
participants to run for much of the duration of the game.


I thought a guy from Sydney would get into this. (hehe)

And when they have an event with "World" in the title, teams from more
than one nation turn up.

It is also invariably commentated on by announcers who make bellowing
bulls trampling runners at Pamplona sound like the Vienna Boys Choir.

For some people, it constitutes entertainment.

Go figure.

BINGO! From an american who was turned on to rugby in college. Greatest
sport in the world.
