The Sport of Rugby

Rugby is a game that is heard of in the United States but rarely seen or played. Here at UVU there is a club and they played the Utah Utes today. This is only my first game this season and third time ever watching rugby.

The first time that I ever saw a rugby game was back in December of 2002 while I was living in Argentina. I watched the New Zealand All Blacks play the Argentine Pumas. I really had no idea what was going on (I still don't), but I found it fun to watch.

Rugby, sometimes referred to as Rugby Football, comes from football ... or soccer as we call it here in the US. It started around England back in 1823 and some countries play at both professional and amateur levels. I found on wikipedia that it is the national sport of Papua New Guinea.

Today's game against the Utes didn't go over so well. Amy and I enjoyed watching, but we left shortly after Utah scored their 30th point bringing the score to 10 to 30.
