I watched "Invictus" and got PUMPED! Watched 30 on 30 "The 16th Man" and WAS MESMERIZED!! No wonder my girl Windy loved to check out the Hong kong 7's (http://www.hksoccersevens.com/) every year!

Rugby union, or simply Rugby, is a full contact team sport, a form of football which originated in England in the early 19th century. One of the codes of rugby football, it is based on running with the ball in hand. It is played with an oval-shaped ball, outdoors on a level field, usually with a grass surface, up to 100 metres (330 ft) long and 70 metres (230 ft) wide. On each goal line are H-shaped goal posts.

I've watched rugby a few times and it seems pretty interesting. I'm always trying to get into it more, but until now I wasn't sure how. Thanks for these two links. That irb one really has alot of info more than I could imagine.
