Hi
I must admit I have never understood the game,but I believe it did start once but didn't catch on. Saying that however 81,000 people watching on a wintery afternoon is not a crowd viewing a novelty sport.

Hi
Don't really understand why but on Sunday the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins 13-10. it was a home match for the Dolphins and it was played at Wembley Stadium watched by 81,176 people. Long way to go to see a home game especially as it was played in pouring rain.

Hi Mike and Smokey
England are the holders of the Webb Ellis World \Cup having beaten Australia in Sydney four years ago. Prior to coming into this years finals England were written off as the worst world champions ever and were beaten in the group stage 36 - 0 by South Africa. But we have improved to the point where the favourites Australia and New Zealand were knocked out, by England and France and after France were beaten we play South Africa in the final, hopefully with a different result. If England win they will be the first team to retain the trophy

Hi
At the moment the Rugby Union World Cup is being held in France. The English team who hold the Trophy and who prior to the start of the tournament were really awful, have made it through to the semi finals after beating Australia in the quarters. With the mighty New Zealand 'All Blacks' losing to to France on the same day it should be an exciting contest. We play France on Saturday.
