Watch it you!  


France has been awesome this world cup, and should really give the American Eagles a real touch up.

I really enjoyed the USA v. Japan game last night, love watching the minnows play because they always play with a lot of heart, and always really like the Japanese when they throw it around (their Flyhalf is a kiwi which helps no end)

Considering , I'm surprised they haven't tapped into some real home grown talent in the US. Some of them American footballers could make great rugby players if their fitness, and skill levels were good enough.

Well, there you have it. Thats exactly why American footballers would never make good Rugby players

It must be VERY hard to work up any sort of fitness level between the commercial breaks !!

LMFAO

Rugby sissy? Everyone knows it's American Football without all the pads and protection. Have you ever actually watched a game? Let alone played one?

Have a buddy that plays Rugby... Always returns to work bruised up and limping.

His favorite T shirt says "Rugby Players Eat Their Dead"

You've obviously never seen pro football players in person.  Without the "sissy" pads, there would be many, many, deaths.

Don't get me wrong, rugby is a brutal sport, but these guys are not built like pro footballers.  Besides, the breaks are nice for getting a snack and fetching a beer.

Right.  Rugby games I know of usually end with both teams drinking a large amount of beer.  American Football games at the professional level involve on duty a medical staff sufficient for a small city.  And that's just for the players. When you factor in the fans, we're talking research hospital.

Anyone know if this game will be shown (again?) on TV in the USA?

I don't understand the game, but would like to watch it.  The only Rugby game I saw live was a college intermural game about ten years ago that was interupted because one of the players legs was broken.  I hope that is a rare oddity.

Well guys when Ireland go kick all yer butts and lift the world cup you can say, Gremlin told yas so! Its the wallabies next week in a top of the table clash, that will make the superbowl look like a barbie party!

[straffo]

I always thought of the superbowl as a barbie party or gay pride...
Definitly something weird in fact

Only because of the drug abuse our players are doing off the field inbetween Sundays.

Yeah I have, they look like rugby players with pads and helmets.

I was replying to whoever it was that commented Rugby was a sissy game. Far from it, probably the most brutal contact sport out there.

Only protection they wear is a gum shield.

A friend of mine is a Frenchman, who was a fan/player of Rugby. His wife, and mine are both Denver Bronco fans, and so we all got together to watch a game early in the season.

I was happily surprised at how interested he was in the game. What he seemed to find most facinating were the kicks and returns.  The part where everyone is closing on one another at about 500 miles per hour.  It was nice to have his perspective of the game, and I was glad it didn't degenerate into an international pissing contest lol.

i tried watching the superbowl.  Was the most boring 'sport' i have ever seen until Shania Twain's breasts came on.

Saying that, i would love to watch a game again in america to appreciate the atmosphere, on tv? never again!

Also - what really annoys me is the amount of commercial breaks american tv has and the cheesey commentators.

Atleast rugby is not commercial, its still "stamp a metal stud in your opponents face" 80 minutes of constant goodness.
