    i'm not too sure about that. it was also pretty painful...it's funny how you can't feel your limbs in one sense, but they still sting and hurt you A LOT in another. any scientists...?

    i'm gonna need to get buff haha. but what i lack in muscle, i make up for in my willingness to fight dirty! heh
    doubt getting a rugby ball is exactly the easiest thing in the world. my brother tried to get a USA rugby shirt over there, and the woman in a shop was like "a WHAT shirt?"

    I'm following it, but I'm struggling a bit with the rules of union. I'm sure Wales were cheating.... :D

    i've never seen a super 12 game. i'd imagine there's quite a difference in standards compared to our teams, being the top 3 ranked countries and all.
    although i found out today wales is number 4 :)
    jo, everyone cheats sometimes i'm afraid, it's a fact of life!

    Great match Saturday! Had to download it to see it, though.

    The downside to watching rugby in North America is that we're pretty limited in terms of televised games. Setanta Sports (the one you can get at home) has some games, but seldom live (football takes precedent). Setanta Premium (pubs only) has the games live, BUT it costs a pub something like $500/game to show it. The result around here is that you pay a $20 cover just to get in and watch...either at a local RFC clubhouse or a good pub. Even in a city as large as Toronto, with a massive British, Aussie, NZ and SA expat population, you can count the places to watch rugby live on one hand...sad, really.

    oh also vistaway, you know you said the one you can get at home, do you mean that you get them in the apartments or just generally at home? cheers

    I doubt you can get Sentanta Sports at the apartments, unfortunately. I know it's $15 a month extra for us here in Canada, and I would imagine it's the same in the US (same feed for North America...and it's not the UK one even)....but like others have said, there are so many British expats in Orlando, there are lots of good places to watch the matches.
