Well, that will give something for you and Tarjak to discuss at the next subsim meet.

Yes i know what Rugby is. My smart quip is more of a reference as to how little mention it receives here in the US as compared to other sports. From what i've seen, It receives so little attention here, that it begs the sterotypical, ignorant-American question, "What the hell is rugby?" out of jest. And the Irish beating the US at rugby, nevermind that, back the truck up a little....... you mean the US has a rugby team?

That is precisely how the Aussies think about their cricket team

Cricket? Well, i know there is a cricket bat, and it's a bloody good against zombies.

If the USA rugby team made it to the semi finals there be more mention of it on your screens. Its course the US team though they have improved from previous Cups are just not that good... yet. The USA needs to join our Test matches we have during the winter NZ, AUS, SA, etc., I think its up to the rugby board though but it would be good to have the USA as part of it just for the sake of rugby and the money they would bring into the game.

Same here with American football I love watching the game but its hardly mention in New Zealand just not popular, yet American football is played here.
