Did the US win or not? The suspense is killing me!!:eek:
Well...... they came second? (They actually did themselves really proud, I was very impressed!)
YES!!! We've got a couple years to start planning. You can teach me how to drive on the "other" side of the road. ;) Will PM or email you soon.
:laugh: Oh Jeez, the pressure... talk to Jordan, I was an absolute wreck the whole time his inlaws were in country. I could not relax, it terrifies me being 'responsible' (I nearly choked typing that just now :rofl: ) for loved ones when they're here. It's almost a superstitious thing. :a11:
I can't wait though, am so looking forward to finally meeting you after knowing you for.. (counting) 18 years?!!! (by the time you get here)

:lol:
Now come on, that's a little rough... it was only 63 points. :biggrin2:
And yes! I'd love to face Ireland! (Well, y'know, get my boys to do it for me :laugh: )

GO IRELAND! :)
Why you little... (bring it onnnnnnn... [dancing]
Canada has a Rugby Team ?? :icon_eek:
How do they play it with skates on ??

Sorry Neesy and mal

:laugh: I am going to refrain from saying that maybe they forgot to change their footwear? Oops... apparently I don't understand the meaning of 'refrain"? :a11:
France 33 USA 9
:hopelessness:
Now, the score doesn't reflect this, but USA played the first, I'd say 66 minutes absolutely beautifully! Their defense was incredible and they held France off really well for so long. I think it comes down to them not having enough games against the bigger teams and this shows over the full 80 minute game, the fitness in the last 20 minutes or so is a huge thing. And teams not playing in the big leagues don't get the same kinds of training opportunites.
I was really proud of their performance. :smile:
We lost to The French? How? Weren’t all the French players drunk on wine and eating too much cheese to play?:wink:
:laugh:
New Zealand 63 Canada---present :tounge::wink:
....I will happily do a Haka in Dodge City for you.....
Oh, you know you've done it now, right? :biggrin2: (also it's quite culturally sensitive, so I think you best get to Googling for the right lyrics and pronunciation now... :tounge: )
:applause: I Duly noted and added to the formal agenda! :cool:
Oh man, can I just win Lotto now so I can attend this thing?! :biggrin2:

When I was a kid and my uncle came to live with us from Ireland, he brought along his love for rugby. I have a dent in my skull behind my right ear from when he used me as a tackling dummy. Ireland owes me the win! Experience tells me you have to be nuts to play rugby or be a fan.
