    There must be more fans of rugby than just those of us from New Zealand. C'mon, where are you!?

    Rugby might be the most interesting of the "British" sports. When I had ESPN I caught it a couple of times.

    Earlier last year they actually had the All Blacks come to Soldier Field to annihilate Team USA. It drew 61,500 people, which isn't bad, considering most people here have little to no connection to the game.

    I have nothing of value to add except we tried playing rugby on the field in school and it was quickly banned due to the outbreaks of violence.

    (We were most definitely probably playing it wrong and just wanted an excuse to rough house).

    Ireland's had a fantastic year in Rugby and my family watch every game they play - at least we did when I wasn't away. Rugby is huge here now and there's optimism going into this years WC. Myself and my family have already booked tickets to go to Cardiff for the World Cup to see their first game against Canada. It cost a lot but as it's so close to home why not?
