I feel like my best chance to learn would be through watching pros, and it's such a handicapp not to have that. | ||

All the new zealand teams have put on a massive showing with their opening games. Except for of course the lack luster Hurricanes. This season I'm expecting an all new zealand final. Last years victory for the Reds was probably the biggest fluke I have ever seen, and the South African teams were nothing short of unimpressive. However, the Bulls and Stormers are always dangerous. Can't believe I missed the first day of Super Rugby. Watching the Six Nations highlights now (England vs Scotland), Italy put up a decent fight vs France, just left gaps in their defence. Phyre, if you want to watch some rugby, there are quite a few torrents available online. Six Nations is already on piratebay, and last season they uploaded all the Super Rugby matches there as well. + Show Spoiler + Atrocious decision in Scotland vs England not to award the try and then not to give the penalty. Clear downwards pressure from the Scottish player on the ball  | ||

All I can say is just watch the game, you guys could get together in the weekends and just run some plays/drills. It's unfortunate it's such a small game in America. | ||

It's unfortunate it's such a small game in America. We have two coaches, sixty players, and we practice five or six times a week depending on if we have a match that saturday or not. it's a growing game in the US; especially at the college age. I know ten guys from my graduating highschool class ( graduated with 65 students) that play now. | ||

Yeah, I got confused by the other comment. There were some pre-season games last weekend, but the actual season hasn't started yet. Can't wait for it to start though, Super Rugby is my favourite annual tournament. The quality of rugby is great, and each team has it's own style. Tons of fun to follow. Maybe this year my team (Lions) will not end up last again, since we won the Currie Cup (biggest provincial tournament in South Africa) for the first time in 15 years  | ||

Really is a great thing to have in college.

South Africa topped their group with a nice 33 - 5 victory over France. USA had a really poor tournament, losing all three their pool stage matches. I usually like supporting the USA as an underdog team, but they didn't play well. Kenya, my other underdog team, kicked ass and topped their group above England and Scotland. I hope they can get some points this tournament Yeah south africa played awesome and isn't even playing cecil africa. Was really hoping for USA to come back in that last game against ARG. Kenya has a lot of fast guys...shocking :-p Pissed that the france vs ireland game that was supposed to be aired in USA today got cancelled due to frozen pitch T_T | ||

As for 6 nations... as nice as England's 2 win record so far doesn't reflect the fact they're looking pretty bad. I'm not sure they should have beaten Scotland, but managed it. I like the look of both Wales and France, I enjoy the Welsh team at the moment because it just looks like they're playing really solid rugby and doing all the basics pretty perfectly. | ||
