World Cup Rugby - All Blacks Take It Over France
Not sure how many of you are into ruggers but the final for the World Cup was Sunday and New Zealand beat France 8-7 in a very good match. France was tough - props to them. The All Blacks are legends and frankly I think there was a few questionable calls that went to the Blacks.
The boys put on a good show. Made me wanna get out there and tangle in a maul!

The Title could be misleading! Like the Brits call the line on the pavement where you have done a Burn Out a "Darkie"!

You have to understand the RWC is like the SuperBowl. I watched the French send England home and then Wales. The final against NZ was their best by far, so I agree; natural justice. Thank god its all over, now I can happily return to the garage and work on the Porsche again.

I think that the major league sports are getting away from the title 'World Campions" in favor or Super Bowl Champians or World Series Champions.
I am sure that any NFL franchise would gladly sign someone from another land to play. Canada comes closest to having a gridiron offering and even then the CFL is like the triple A for the NFL.

I have never before seen the streets of Auckland like they were after that game.
What a nailbiter! The french were strong right out of the blocks! i was just waiting for a drop goal or a penalty in those last few minutes. The RWC atmosphere here has been fantastic and the pool games were jsut as awesome to watch as the semi's/quarter's/final. http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/rugbytracker/match=11235/video.html

The Miami Dolphins RULE!
....Not! Anyway, we are seriously trying to bring NFL football to Webley Stadium in the UK. We want to bring NFL football to the UK, and the EU by extention. Europeans don't understand American football, but once they learn the game...they ditch Society football, or soccer, by droves! Our football is better, and it is only a matter of time before our game takes over your world! In 2050, the Delhi Lions will go up against the Philadelphia Eagles in Superbowl 84... |

I just wish that the NFL would get rid of the helmets and pads. Now that would be the best of the best...

I had the pleasure of attending an All Blacks game about 7 years ago in NZ, those are some really, really scary and impressive guys. Congrats to them.

 I love rugby -- my wife coaches with Team Canada. And I also love NFL football. But comparing them is similar to comparing apples to oranges. |
