Rugby World Cup Getting Underway

From the September 7th USA Today "USA aims high at Rugby World Cup.

I became a bit of a fan of rugby when I was touring Australia and New Zealand back several years ago. These two countries happened to be playing each other on both of the major rugby levels.

If you think Americans get into their football, you should see the rivalry when the New Zealand All Blacks (the color of their uniforms) play the Australian team (I can't remember their name). I became a fan of the All Blacks.

The Rugby World Cup kicks off in Auckland today when the All Blacks take on Tonga. Both New Zealand and South Africa (remember the recent movie about their Springbok team and Nelson Mandela) are favorites. There are four pools of five teams and the US is one of them.

Schools having rugby teams have increased greatly in the United States and the US and our team is called the Eagles.

Here's Pulling for an Eagles-All Blacks in the Championship Game and an American Victory. --RoadDog
