From September 18th through October 31st, England will be hosting the Rugby World Cup. I discovered rugby and fell in love with the sport a few years ago.
Of course, I love the USA Eagles, but our chances of winning the RWC are about as good as Hillary Clinton inviting Donald Trump over for a cup of tea!! I follow the Irish national team which is currently ranked No. 2 in the world behind the perennial power in New Zealand. The Irish lost to Wales today in a World Cup warm-up. The Welsh team is no slouch! Strong squad.
The RWC is actually one of the three biggest sporting events in the world following the Soccer World Cup and the Olympics (The Super Bowl is a one day event; I am referring to a series).
There are not many venues to see the games, even though Universal will be carrying some.
Anybody else ever given rugby a look? It's a pretty fast paced game with few delays. I'm the only one in my family who even watches it, but watch it, I will!
If you are a rugby fan, put in your two cents worth here. Don't know if we can get much of a discussion going, but it's worth a shot.
Go Ireland!!!

Great start got Ireland! Ireland 50, Canada 7.
Also, the biggest upset in rugby history today! Japan, a 40-1 underdog, defeated former champions South Africa, 34-32. What a game!!
USA plays Samoa tomorrow. Really need this win if they hope to compete for more. Samoa is ranked higher, but anything can happen! Go Eagles!
