Cause wearing really really short shorts is obviously more manly

Its interesting sport though, is it like you can pass the ball w/ hands but you have to score by punting it?

You can only pass backwards using your hands but if you kick it it can go forward. To score you just run the ball over the line or kick a conversion.

AND YAY ALL BLACKS!!!! SUNNY BILL IS THE MAN

^Oh so its pretty much the same thing as football. Is it based on plays or continuous (like soccer)?

Im trying to check out videos in youtube but all the vids (even the highlights) are just a compilation of rugby player's faces looking all intense and nervous :palm:

Its completely different because you can only pass it backwards, it makes it that much harder.

There are 2 different types of rugby, League and Union. In League you get 6 tackles and have to hand over possession afterwards in Union its continuous. The World Cup is Union.

(Some teams do a Haka before the match, to intimidate the opposition. All Black's one is fucking epic)


(Highlights of last night's game)

Agreed, Wales played very well. The game was decided by that one dodgy call...
IMO Japan did really well too but the score doesn't reflect their effort.

Haha yeah they're really cool.

Also Jonny Wilkinson...what the hell happened

I was considering asking my family to mail me an all blacks jersey, but since they're in Australia I don't know how they would take it.

Haha probably wouldn't take it very well knowing them Aussies. These jerseys are damn expensive though, 180 NZD so I don't think I'll be getting one unless its on special.

Edit: Its 190 NZD :soosad:
