It's on...I don't get it But it's kind of like football and these dudes are beating the hell out of each other. Still better than basketball. |

There was an All Blacks exhibition game on CSN+ a couple months ago and I couldn't really follow it. It was like really disorganized football, which I suppose is more or less what it is. |

It might be purged by now but I think we had a thread on the 2007 cricket world cup in this section. |

I watched England's opening match of the Six Nations against Wales and I gotta admit I didn't understand it either. |

It's a fantastic sport. It's fast paced while at the same time very rough. It isn't that difficult to understand on a basic level. No forward passes...must release ball when tackled. |

http://chicagodragons.org/ These guys play just East of Diversey driving range. Dont know when they play, but it is a real league. Yes, I know who is playing, but it was damn vicious. Most guys were really slow, so the 1 or 2 really fast guys on each team dominated. Dont know if we walked in on some special tourney, but they were playing some guys from New Zealand. Quite a road trip . |
