Default Rugby Explained

I've never been remotely interested in the game of Rugby, just as I've never been interested in most sports I can't play myself.

Still, it's nice to have the rules explained, or better yet demonstrated, in a fashion that's easy to follow. After watching this video I think I have a better grasp of the game, and in fact wouldn't mind trying my hand at it. As I keep repeating, it's not what you say, it's how to say it.

I'm sure that after viewing this most of you will agree that Rugby is a sport worth watching, at least once.

That'a my kind of rugby. Great way to explain the rules. I can watch it over and over and over... again and again and again...
All I ask is, Can I be the ball?

Or the pitch, I'd be the pitch or the ball or, or, or, anything!

Thanks for the rules. It all makes sense, now. I just may have to watch them again.

So it's not just a game played by men with funny shaped balls after all
