Hi folks - 1 week to go until the Rugby world Cup kicks off...hoorah and Huzzah

Anyone fancy having a bit of a fantasy dream team action - for bragging rights while the games are in full flow - Neesy - USA v SCOTLAND!!!!!

Its free. Just pick a team of the players you think will do well and score points - simple.

All you guys in pool B- USA - your pool looks good
south africa/samoa/Japan/Scotland/USA

All you guys in pool A - England got it easy
Australia/England /Wales/Fiji/Uraguay

All you guys in pool C - New Zealand know already i bet. flake!
Argentina/tonga/georgia/Nambia/

Smelly french folks got pool D France/Ireland/Italy/ Canada/ Romania :)




Go on - if you get bored, leave it, because its already done - and you might even win a prize. (Newbies get very lucky)

Even if you Don't understand the game of rugger - who cares -we got auto fill !!!

dO IT :big_money: Theres PRIZES $$$$$$$

[EDIT: I have removed the links as this is the kind of thing that would be better done through PMs but will move the thread back to Chattery Teeth as it's not really Self-Promotion. If anyone wants the information from Sheemie for how to set up an account to play in the fantasy league, please send him a PM. Ms. Mod]

Sheemiee, I've just moved this into the Self Promotion area--as (we've never had anything like this on the MB, and so) I'm not sure whether it's okay to promote... especially as there are prizes involved. I will check with Moderator to be sure, though.

I was going to start a Rugby World Cup thread in the next week or so... I cannot wait until the first whistle!
Yes Richie is playing, he is captain again but this will likely be his last year playing for the AB's. (*sob*)

If you don't mind I'd prefer to leave it there because it does explain the name. I think people not living in our country automatically see that name as something possibly sinister... and it isn't at all, so I would like for folks overseas to understand the origin. :smile:
"Black" doesn't appear to mean the same thing in our country... but interestingly, the experiences I have had via the internet have caused me to usually call my national team the "AB's" when I reference them online, so as not to have folks think I am am using a racist term.

It would break me to think that people thought I was treating folks differently because of their race/physical attributes/heritage. That isn't me.

...oh wow, how ironic...cuz for me-as a Correctional or Prison RN, AB's bears a negative connotation...as in the Aryan Brotherhood.....

That was not at all what I was trying to achieve by explaining where it comes from--and responding in the way I did to your initial question.

I guess it doesn't matter what I call my rugby guys, somebody somewhere will end up not liking it and possibly take offence.

*sigh* It's just rugby... a game that I love.

But I will go back and delete all that not_nadine, because it feels like it was personal to you. (it wasn't though, I hope you understand that)

...that wasn't criticism honey, not at all...I was just attempting to add to your explanation of how things were perceived, not add to any upset-my apologies...offense can be found via almost anything if one looks for it....

No... I completely understand, it does reiterate what I have found online, you're right about that. :)

Behind you
I am very happy that you feel that way about your team, Flakes. I just have no clue about soccer. You must be way excited! I felt that way when my home team made the stanley cup or another wonderous act.

I did not mean to offend you or any one else . But delete away and maybe another mention could be made of the name could be explained in another more sensitive and bad humor way.
