Re: OT - Rugby World Cup

Well, a few of us Americans do have an idea...played #8 for several local US Army teams back when I had a working pair.

You might be surprised to know that there is a rather active amateur rugby community here in the DC area. You see lots of cars with bumper stickers that read "Give Blood - Play Rugby".
OH Ya, Rugby is alive and well in DC. Now there is a sport for the young and manly. For us old guys, it’s more of a trial by contact.
