Re: Rugby!!!
fingers crossed, i'm with you guys all the way. i'm also rooting for the all blacks too (don't want to alienate anyone)
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
Re: Rugby!!!
That will be a good match.... But the All Blacks are THE Team in pro Rugby, so I'm expecting we'll get a proper "stuffing"!

Re: Rugby!!!
come on now....the US held it's own pretty well in the world cup. anyway with rugby it's a good match rather than the win

Re: Rugby!!!
Does anyone actually understand the rules anyway? Just make sure theirs plenty of beer before, during and after the game and enjoy.

Haha! It's actually pretty simple. Imagine American football prior to the year 1906 (when the forward pass became legal) and the only kind of tackle you can make is an arm tackle. That's effectively rugby. Move the line forward via a series of laterals. Rather than a line and snap, they have a scrum.
The Americans are gonna get killed, I think. The All Blacks pull the best in the world from all over the world.
Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: Rugby!!!
I wouldn't want to be in a bar with the winning (or losing) team's questioning a referee's ruling.
Unless I didn't need my neck anymore. ("And SNAP! You have a scrum!}
Only saying, having seen some of those guys before and not knowing what a "scrum" is and all.....

Re: Rugby!!!
Scrum!
It's pretty impressive when two good teams are at it. The ref rolls the ball under it, and whoever gets the ball gets the try. The All Blacks were so good at it, they actually changed the rules to adjust for it.

Re: Rugby!!!
CONGRATS USA ON A GREAT WIN IN THE 7's.
Jerome, sorry have to correct you, it's not the ref that put the ball in at the scrum it's the centre half of the team that has the advantage if for example the opposing team have made an infringement of some kind. I wont go too deeply into the rules.
As for "forward passing" that's an infringement, as is the off side rule, a player mustn't be ahead of the ball. Big difference with rugby and American rules is to score a "touch down" you have to actually touch the ball down within the score line and the dead ball line, and your hand must be on the ball! When I played 50 years ago, if you fumbled the ball eg; it bounced or it hit the ground before you touched it, the try wouldn't be allowed. It is still a great game and the bodies on the players now....Greek gods
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
Re: Rugby!!!

Re: Rugby!!!
As we say over here GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!! 
See the link to see the result of years of rugby scrums ........ good old Cauliflower ears............. back in the day all forwards had cauliflour ears, these days they tend to tape them up so as to prevent as much damage as possible. http://emtutorials.com/wp-content/uploa … er-ear.jpg
Have to point out though to the comment that whoever gets the ball from the scrum gets the try ......... NOT always and NOT necessarily
