Re: Rugby World cup
The only thing I get excited about on TV is the World Cup. It's tough for Americans to see the cup this year since NBC/Universal sports has the rights to it. They are only showing 8 games! I figured out how to rig my computer to my TV and was able to purchase the whole package for $150.00. It's not nearly as nice as just being on TV but I'll take it. The World Cup is always awesome due to countries like Romania and Georgia, they pull out all the stops and just grind at the top rugby nations. My wife is from South Africa, we met while I was playing down there, so we of course are always pulling for the Eagles, and the Boks. I also played in Wales for a season for British Steel, so I love to see the Welsh do well. The last World Cup we won tickets to London after the Boks beat England, a good English mate made a wager for air fare over the final! I hope it comes down to the same again this year!
Sorry for long post, this is the apex of sport for me!
