The greatest ever rugby player, (New Zealand All blacks), Jonah Lomu:

Good question, and vice versa. I'll check on him and make a determination when I have a little time later. hehe.

I know too little about rugby. It looks like a riot and I enjoy it when i see it.

Some people here advocate for a get-rid-of-the-helmets rule in football here. The logic is that we wouldn't hit in certain ways that cause injuries if we were more afraid.

The haka (Maori war dance) is performed by the New Zealand team before they play.

Look at the way the French team, and Chabal in particular, respond here.

This was when New Zealand were unexpectedly dumped out of the World Cup by the French.

I honestly believe it to be the greatest game in the world.

Players sometimes receive horrendous injuries in rugby.

Rugby players' ears are not a pretty sight.

I may be wrong, but I believe most serious injuries are neck and spinal rather than head.

Jesus Christ. I wonder what times he's running in 50 or 60 metres.

heh...Good. that's when, during the course of the game, you lean over an injured dancer to whisper in his ear. How's that FEEL, Owen? Feel like dancin'? ;)

Some people talking on a message board about the how Rugby players might do in a cross over. Nothing profound.
