A friend of mine named Richard, from the UK took me to my first Rugby match. That is me in the pic
This is Richard, he explained the game as we watched it.
the Raleigh Vipers were in Red.
They are ranked 22nd in the US and number 1 in their conference 
How good are they? They beat this team, from Baltimore 45 - 7
I have an ongoing argument with a British guy at work... I argue that if America cared about Rugby, the sport would stop existing within a year. Imagine if you will... a world where the best athletes in America play rugby. You have a scrum pile pushed around by 400 pound offensive linemen.. the ball pops loose and you start to run with it, but all of a sudden you are decapitated by Jon Beason at full speed with no pads.

I have a similar argument featuring a soccer team who's goalie is Dwight Howard...
Hahahaha, I completely agree with Jon. Rugby may be a perfectly good sport and it may be fun, but if America cared about it, we'd rock face at it, and then, of course, the rest of the world would stop playing it.
