RUGBY WORLD CUP .....This Saturday the Rugby World Cup Final will be played in the host country France. It will feature the Defending Champion England. They will play another Tri-Nations team from down under, The South African Springboks. 4 years ago they squeaked by a strong Australian team in the title match to win the Cup. Having residency status in South Africa I of course will be rooting for the Springboks. South Africa has a strong tradition in Rugby. They last won the World Cup in 1995. Sadly I will have to moniter the match on the internet as it will not be televised here in America. ...... At first glance Rugby looks like organized mayhem. Just like American football, once one becomes familar with its rules it is a very exciting sport. America competes in the Rugby World Cup but does not have much success. We have yet to win a contest. I thought last year we had a chance against Fiji but alas we lost in the waning moments of the match. This sport may not be popular in America but I can assure you most of the world will be glued to their TVs like we do for the Super Bowl's commercials and half time show........smile ......Aint got no Lobstahhhh....but had a foot long hot at the NC State Fair today.
