Re: Rugby in the US
Hey Skip. Well I had to actually purchase them on RWC 2007
Not a bad price but I do miss watching them in the pub. I guess I'll have to wait another 4 years. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Re: Rugby in the US
Argentina ousted, ouch! This is turning out to be an unenjoyable world cup for me. First of all I'm a NZ All Blacks fan then I would like Argentina to make out now ..... 
Oh well, not sure who to root for now. I want to say South Africa but England is on a tear so I'll think about it.

Re: Rugby in the US
I actually got to watch the game at an Irish Pub on Long Island. They were playing it mid day. YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I'm joining a rugby club coming up in February and the coach of the team found out about the game and emailed the rugby team. There were only 5 of us that showed up but it was good to actualy see a game with about 70 people in the bar with standing room only with Brits and SA's screaming and cheering. I'm happy it was South Africa, it was a pretty good game.

Re: Rugby in the US

Re: Rugby in the US
Probably a bit late, Skipper, is it any surprise that of course no one gives a flying monkeys about the English team and I even heard them called 'failiures' despite officially being second in the world!
On the other hand, who else remembers that cheating French no.9 running up and stamping on an Argentinian at the back of a maul before legging it, just not on that!
