Yeah it was a pretty good game too!
Until the last 5 minutes of poor sportsmanship by the Kiwis.
But that's how you defend a 1 point lead, like it or not.

It wasn't attractive rugby, but it was an enthralling game due to how close it was and what was riding on it. We just now need to win it away from home. Hopefully it wont be another 24 years.

Watched some rugby the other day,those guys are nutts!Still can't determine if rugby or american football is more rougher.Yes rugby players don't wear pads but they dont have 350lb lineman with 4.5 speed chasing them either!

I think we've had this conversation before. I think American football has bigger hits - more powerful players that are trained for explosive short bursts of activity with the protection of pads and helmets. Most American football players wouldn't make it to the end of a rugby game though as it is a full on 80 minutes of activity, plus the big American football players wouldn't be mobile enough on the field and the mobile American football players wouldn't be big enough to be effective. These are generalisations of course, and I am sure there are some players in either code that would be able to cross over.

I like gridiron but find it hard to follow.
It is 100% modified to be as explosive as possible, with specialist players for all possible scenarios.
IMHO it makes for great highlight reels but a slow game to watch.
But hey, I can watch 3 days of cricket before I get bored so it's all about what you are brought up with.
