Title: All Blacks in Chicago this weekend!
Post by: Vulcan on October 27, 2014, 03:24:49 PM
Deer Yankee Amerikans.

Your Eagles rugby team (yes you have a rugby team) will be playing in a (real) world cup next year - you know - where there are actually OTHER countries competing.

This weekend your Eagles rugby team plays the mighty All Blacks (greatest Rugby Team in the Known Universe, All Hail Richie McCaw) in Chicago at Soldier Stadium.

A few warnings as some of you yankees may have trouble handling such awesomeness:
 - no helmets
 - no padding
 - they play for two 40 minute halves pretty much non-stop
 - no timeouts
 - no offensive/defensive teams. Just "the team"
 - there will be blood
 - the haka is a both a challenge and a sign of respect

I thought the Haka translated comes out as "we're gonna rip your tonkers off"???

If they are really tough they will have no fear walking the streets of Chicago after dark. Say the intersection of Ashland and Western?

Ashland and Western are both north/south streets. There is no intersection.

We just played NZ not that long ago in the Basketball World cup.  Apparently the sheep shaggers used most of their practice time to work on their dance routine.

Yeah ummm US supports may wish to switch off about now. The AB's usually play their best in the second half.
