Ever wondered what a "world series" would be like with other countries in it?

Well heres your chance! Round 4 of the IRB Rugby Sevens is going to played in Los Angeles, at the Home Depot Center on February 11th and 12th.

What is sevens? http://www.rugby7.com/7rules.asp

Basically its seven-a-side rugby, with games of 14 minutes. However instead of going to see a game, you go and watch a days worth of games as the teams battle it out to be top each round.

Heres the current rankings and teams involved:
OVERALL STANDINGS
DUB GEO NZL USA HKG SIN LON PAR OVERALL
Fiji 16 20 20 0 0 0 0 0 56
England 20 12 8 0 0 0 0 0 40
South Africa 12 12 16 0 0 0 0 0 40
Argentina 4 16 6 0 0 0 0 0 26
New Zealand 8 6 12 0 0 0 0 0 26
Samoa 12 8 4 0 0 0 0 0 24
France 6 4 12 0 0 0 0 0 22
Australia 4 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 12

West Indies 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

If you can get to it I'd recommend it highly, it usually involves very entertaining sport, great sportsmanship, alchohol, and loose barely clothed woman!

Which Home depot parking lot they having that game in?

Theres a pretty good reason american football and baseball are named 'world championship' and 'world series'

i would say without a doubt that no team outside the US could ever beat the team that won the WS or Super Bowl. None.

It would definitely be interesting seeing a game between the winner of the MLB WS and whatever the Japanese have for a champion, but I dont think it'd be a close game

that being said i'd definitely say europeans got us in football, rugby, and cricket.

Fijians are on a roll but the game to watch is always the Samoans vs the Tongan's.
