Just north of Duma Key
FlakeNoir I was in awe at the respect of the players toward each other and the officials. Also the way the officials handled each infringement. I occasionally watch American football, and watching an entire game of Rugby just floored me. Yes, the teams each did all they could to win, they fought hard, but they did so with full respect for the rules. I may not be expressing myself correctly, but wow- I admire this sport.
I can see why you are proud of the AB's. They deserved that win. I shall remember this game for a long time.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Spidey... I was really hoping that you would.
It has taken a great number of years and rule changes to get the game where it is today, I think. But yes definitely, once you get up to international level like this, respect is a huge part of the game and it makes it so much more enjoyable.

The sports commentator said exactly the same what Miss Spidey said. In soccer the player argue with the referee. And often the players don't fight this hard people are tired of this.

It seems the rugby world cup got new rugby fans all over the world.
