saturn Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 USA Eagles vs New Zealand All Blacks tomorrow at Soldier Field in Chicago I don't know much about rugby, but this looks pretty interesting. I'm going to try and watch it. B) How about y'all?
deeman Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Boy if it weren't so cold, i'd make a trip to to watch it live. I hear the all blacks are a good (or at least well known) team.
'Scales Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 The NZ All Blacks are one of the most consistently successful sporting teams on Earth and rugby is one of the more widely played sports by nations. They will occasionaly lose to South Africa, and very occasionaly to France, England or Australia. I'd predict: All Blacks 70 Eagles 10 - if its any closer then All Blacks are either not picking their best side or taking it easy - that's no disrespect to USA either - most countries would be beaten worse than that by the ABs.

cookieman15061 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 That's funny! My brother and 3 friends flew from Boston to Chicago to watch this. I don't know what happened that made him lose his mind. Poor kid.
saturn Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 I went down to Virginia to visit my wifes family and didn't get to a TV until late. By the time I turned it on the score was like 60 something to 6.
IanHenry Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Don't rugby players do all kinds of nasty stuff with each other as male bonding. It can certainly get a bit rough. There's a Rugby club across from my house and the Air Ambulance is a regular visitor. They say that Rugby is a sport for Ruffians played by Gentlemen and Football (Soccer to you) is sport for Gentlemen played by Ruffians. Ian
IanHenry Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Over here our American Football is played by convicts, criminals, wife beaters and druggies. You see FZ, I never understood why you call it Football when most of the play seems to be with the players hands? Ian
rct Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 You see FZ, I never understood why you call it Football when most of the play seems to be with the players hands? We also drive on the parkway and park in the driveway. rct
IanHenry Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 We also drive on the parkway and park in the driveway. rct That's very true, you also drive on the pavement. If you did that in the U.K you would get arrested. You also spell colour wrong! Ian

Ian They all walk sideways along the edge of the road as well. We know because they call it a side walk. Lifts only go up over there too. We know because they call it an elevator. They all use the stairs to come down. Here's the one that really gets me, they can't take a dump in a toilet, only a bath or sometimes a bed or a chair. We know this because they ask us where the bathroom or restroom is but never the toilet. Joking aside, in my last house but one, we had an upstairs bathroom with no toilet in it. My wife's work colleague from LA visited and asked to use he bathroom so I directed her upstairs. It was quite a while before she came down to ask where the toilet was. My wife and I just about died laughing as soon as she walked in because we were waiting for her to come and ask.

Could have been worse Farns, she might have come down and told you that She thinks your bath needs cleaning! Ian
'Scales Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 according to wikipedia you have the most rugby clubs of any nation. UK has the most players registered and i think i saw somewhere USA had second most. in New Zealand though it is an unofficial religion
