I played rugby once! That was enough.

I would imagine that Americans would prefer the code of rugby I watch which is rugby league. There you have a maximum of six tackles to get the ball over the opponents line for a try. It is fast paced and there tends to be reasonable scores. It is mainly played in the north of England. Rugby Union is slow and basically it is about territory so it involves a lot of kicking as far as they can out of the pitch and involves a lot of scrummaging and players sticking their heads around the posterior of their teammate. It is very, very dull but is very physical. I think the USA were in the last Rugby Union World Cup. |
