What's this? USA beating world at hand egg? Yes, hand egg, where the ball actually looks like a giant egg.

You know why? That's because we never bothered.

USA = + infinity. Rest of the world = - infinity.

Carlin Isles is ridiculously fast, but AFAIK he only plays 7's rugby, not 15's.

Miles Craigwell plays with us here in Seattle (when he's not playing internationally with the Eagles), and IMO is more physical on the field, even if not quite as fast as Isles.

Never played rugby because a scrum sounds like something you can catch a nasty disease from.
Scrums are only for the manliest of men, so you're probably best to stay out of them. :biggrin:

Yep, doesn't get any manlier than that. :awe:

No, it really doesn't. BTW those two dudes with the black scrum caps are exactly the position that I play. Only Nancy's get skittish about binding in a scrum. Real men don't even think about it.

EDIT: I wanna also add that the guy that plays in front of me (the one who's ass I'm hugging when I bind) is a big gay black man, and he's rad.

Rugby 7's does not equal rugby. Go back to your body armour wearing 4 second action 5 minute hotdog break pretend "football".

LOL as a 2nd row forward, I've never really played much 7's, but I can at least respect that it is gaining the attention of a wider audience here in the states. Even got it in the Olympics in 2016!

I keep telling myself at the end of the seasons that "this summer I'm gonna play 7's, just for fun," but then I get busy with all the other summer recreation and come fall I'm no longer in match condition. :\

I played both second row and wing when I played Rugby. I was just like the guy in the video.

My own personal rule of thumb is that if I have nuts in one hand there better be a tin of pistachios in the other.



j/k you, btw. I can appreciate just about any sport and rugby is definitely manly.

I like rugby and am starting to enjoy soccer a little more. I do wonder how good our rugby and soccer teams would be if no one liked football or basketball. Can you imagine Lebron James as a keeper?

The IRB needs a really good on-line tool for effectively teaching people the laws of rugby. I think if more Americans fully understood the laws they'd enjoy being spectators. People get really turned off when they have no idea what's going on every time there is a stoppage of play, even if they understand the basics of open play.

That video was awesome to watch.

Rugby is a lot more than speed. If he really started 12 weeks earlier than the other teams need to attack his position over and over exploiting his defensive inexperience.

Then they need to keep the ball out of his hands when the US is on offense. :-D

It's Rugby 7's. If it was the full game he will find it harder to run since there's a lot less space.

I've seen that for awhile, but never clicked the link until just now. I always imagined they were ornate gas lamps, and other classic iron from the last century. I was thinking 'Esoteric, but that's a cool thing to collect.' It wasn't nearly as cool as I thought, and I honestly don't get it.
