Ruby World Cup
The Rugby World Cup is in, like...6 days. I am so excited.
The USA is doing quite well, actually. We are 15th in the world right now. For a sport not that popular in this country, that's a huge deal and we should be pretty excited about it.
The US Eagles team is probably one of the best we've had. Both of them. The seven's and the fifteen's are doing great. We are going to be in the olympics next year which is a huge deal for us, and I predict we will do well there as well as this year at the world cup.
Where can you watch it? On NBC or Universal Sports here in the states. I think BBC and Sky in a few other countries. I'm sure you guys know which channels they are, too haha.
Great stuff. The World Rugby youtube page has videos up getting you up to speed on what's happening leading up to the big event and they are even doing a countdown timer on the website itself as well as stats, and highlights from past World Cups...It's truly exciting.
If you have never watched a rugby game before, You should. It's a blast. It's a cross between the brutality of Quidditch and the intensity of an MMA fight. Remember when American football players didn't wine over a sprained pinky toe or a call they felt was illegal? Rugby doesn't do that. A player could be injured, they still play! Clock keeps going, game keeps going. And most of time, they are bleeding and they just patch them out and send them back out to play. Yeah. Testosterone up to the max.
Just watch one game..you'll be hooked. I promise you.
