Title: Anyone watching the Rugby Common Wealth Games here?

NZ brutalised England. They have an amazing team; I am definitely rooting for NZ.

How about you?

Here in the USA, Fox Soccer Plus carries several rugby matches.  If any of these games are broadcast here I will watch.

Have never watched a Rugby match.  In the highlights I've seen, just looks like a bunch of guys in one big group hug.   :)

I think I found the last time England had any success against the All Blacks...clip from 1973...a try was only worth 4 points back then...

Do they all still wear sweaters and nuthuggers?  And I watched that whole clip and didn't see any black guys......

hahahahahaha  I think the uniforms are a little more "stylish" but not much. 

Funny about the All Blacks...even though that refers to the uniforms, it was still tough for them to get clearance to play in South Africa during apartheid.  The SA government actually declared the Maori (a predominant demographic in NZ) "honorary white" for the purpose of playing rugby over there.
