Rugby story for the 4 rugby fans on SPS. The youngest son went to Southern (I know) and played Rugby for them. We were living in Alabama at the time and USM played Alabama, so we went to the game. There was a bleacher beside the rugby field that seated maybe 30 fans, which included the wife and me, maybe 2 people (girlfriends) from USM and 25-27 Alabama students. The game started and before long, someone asked what the score was. When I told them, they asked how do you score a try, why do they try to make a try in the center of the field and not toward the edge, what counts what, point wise and all other questions about advancing the ball, etc.

By the way, our son was 6'8", so he was the guy who held up the Hooker each Line-out.

It was the first time in my life I was the authority on a sports game. By the way, moving the ball, scoring and such can be complicated in rugby.

Zulu warrior is kind of embarrassing.


I always said Rugby was a reason to drink beer.
