Rugby

I went to my first rugby game last night with some work friends, and I must say it was a fun experience. The audience gets really into the game and the rules are so different from those of the NFL. The clock never stops running and the ball never really stops moving. Instead of going for 3 hours, the game only lasts 80 minutes (plus a 10 minute halftime). There are no time-outs and when someone is tackled, the game isn't put on hold like it would be in America. It was a little confusing to watch at first, but I eventually caught on. The best part of the game, though, is that I was able to get some hot chips and tomato sauce to enjoy (they will glare at you if you say fries and ketchup).
