The US has a rugby team & was represented at this year's event & in the same pool as Australia & Ireland...http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/

Yes, NZ won ...barely but they won!!! I had two very frightened gents watching it with me & I didn't want to have to console them..again!!!

Actually, some of the rugby players do wear a bit of padding but not much!!! It's a hard man's sport & there's a reason many of the players don't really have much of a neck..

Another cool thing..the Silver Ferns(NZ women's netball team) beat the Australians last night!!! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news...ectid=10761227

My friend broke his hip a few years ago playing Rugby. He is only 41 years old. Yikes

I got invited to the Old Girls tournament, where alums play the current team. Went to watch and got asked if I wanted to play, looked at the girl who asked and busted out laughing "honey, I'm 51 years old, you gals would break me in half in the first scrum".

My honey accepted a job offer this morning!!!!!!

This means NO MOVE, we get to stay in our cute little affordable house, I don't have to hunt for a new job someplace else, and we have as much financial security as anyone could ask for. I'm so relieved I could cry.
