DBAHO Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Just finished watching the USA vs Fiji Rugby World Cup game down here, and USA just lost 19-18. They scored a try in the final mins, but they couldn't convert it, and if da guy kicked it b/w da posts they would hav won and prob made da quarter finals. Nice to see some other teams other than da main powers (England, Australia, New Zealand etc.) actually playin well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 What is this rugby you speak of? What is a try? Since when does the US have a rugby team? And most importantly who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsSuck1 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Me and some freinds had a game we played on a soccer field where u had a ball and you just had to throw it in the goal to score, there were like 15 kids on a team, and you could just knock the s*** out of people. We called it rugby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeportHeather Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 IM already training for next yr, they better start me this yr How could you seriously go out for such a violent sport when you're always telling us to be good? Playing violent sports don't show us that you're not being good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing violent sports don't show us that you're not being good!!! Rugby violent? For it's the same thing as football but without the helmet. And the helmet can become a weapon.

rafacosta Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 You forgot the pads. That's a HUGE difference. Yeah, i forgot. But some players use the helmet to knock the others down...see Warren Sapp (that hit agst a GB player). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 DBAHO-- Do you know the name of the U.S. player that missed the conversion? I haven't heard from my brother yet--it might have been him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 DBAHO-- Do you know the name of the U.S. player that missed the conversion? I haven't heard from my brother yet--it might have been him.... Well it was the fly half, no. 10, Mike Hersey I think his name was but I'm not too sure. By the way, USA lost to Scotland 2 days ago 39-17 but they were pretty competitive. They think they can be a world power in rugby in 10 years. I'm also going to the England vs Samoa game on Sunday Night down here in Melbourne, can't wait to see Jonny Wilkinson, he hasn't missed a penalty kick yet so far in da tournament.

They're playing Japan on Monday? I think, then the U.S. goes home right? They won't advance to the next round after losing those first 2?

Because with France and Scotland playing, a 4th place finish would be actually be quite impressive Well they r still in da group stages so 2 teams from da 4 groups will go thru. Australia and either Argentina or Ireland will go thru in Group A, France and either Scotland or Fiji from Group B, England and South Africa from Group C, and New Zealand and probably Italy from Group D. Then it's da quarter finals, but I think South Africa will hav to play New Zealand, so one of those really good teams will be knocked out. Still think England's gonna win it all though.
