I've been watching the England vs Ireland rugby game live on BBC America this morning trying to learn about the game, but all I can get out of it is that it's like soccer and football for real men. Anyone want to try to explain this game to me 'cause it looks like fun and I really want to learn about it. What can I say I'm proud of me Scotch/Irish/English heritage.

I was watching it for alittle but got bored after the kick off and they couldn't get passed the defence.

It turned out to be a really good game with Ireland winning 20 - 16.

My dad played union rugby for 7 years along the east coast back in the 70's. Rugby is an awesome game. There really aren't a lot of intricate rules, just violence.

Here's a pretty clear explanation of the game. If you ever have the opportunity to see a match live I'd definitely suggest you do, they're fun.

What's wrong with speed?

Speed doesn't show anything except NASCAR, Pinks, Chop Cut Rebuild, or that West Coast Customs rip off. You stand a better chance of catching F1 on ESPN 3.

Yeah I don't like speed either, but I rember a couple of years ago they showed every round of Fd, but they played it in the winter, WTF. Why wouldn't they play it live? But speed plays the 24 hours at lamons, but I forgot if it was live. And occasonaly they play F1.
