US vs New Zealand women's rugby

Just watched the first ten minute and it's more exciting than any soccer match I've fallen asleep too...

Just saying

US 14
NZ 12

And I take any woman on that field in a fist fight over any dude on the US men's soccer team.

What's even more weird is it's full contact and I haven't seen play stopped once for an "injury"....

26-21 NZ final

New Zealand ranked #1 in the world.

7s is good TV. It's fast paced. A lot of action. Pretty simple for anyone to follow. 15s, not as much.

The college rugby 7s championship tournie is great watch in the summer. Teams play multiple games in a day. Haven't checked out the World Cup yet, but have the DVR set.

Yeah, sevens is pretty cool. Up and down the field.

Go Black Ferns!

You just don't understand soccer, kingston.

I doubt that "understanding" it would make it more watchable than rugby.

Damnit. I was 60% sure it was. Should have went with my gut.

There are sports thst I don't like, too (Rugby isn't one of them). I don't think I've ever posted about them in nearly 20 years of message boarding. Some people have weird quirks, but to each their own.

Why don’t people dislike the same things i dislike i don’t get it

This is why this board is awesome.

So I saw on tv a sport that has a little circular mini tramp in the middle and two people on each team. They hit a ball on it and then the other team had to hit it. I was pissed as hell at that sport. I’d rather see sky divers take a shit while falling and try to hit a target.

It's ok to like boring sports OTPT.  Golf if boring to watch, but I like it and I watch. See how that works? I can admit it's boring viewing for most people.

The thing is - only boring people get bored.

Fox advertised "what's in your ancestral DNA" to try and attract viewership in the greatest soccer event in the world.

Think about that for a minute.

Good showing vs Scotland.

Good showing v Scotland. Shutout.

New Zealand vs. Fiji semi-final was a great match. Lots of good runs on both sides. The All-Blacks were too tough. Always amazes me how big/fast the All-Blacks are.

Sets up a England vs. All-Blacks final.at 8:45.

Scotland! 100yds for the OT win.

Wow. Argentina in a rout.. Best finish ever for US. 6th place.

Woof...backline was very stagnat....ball skill level just not up to the elite team level...and their forwards ran over ours early (one thing we are usually good at).

Watching South Africa (taking on a much bigger Fiji team) and New Zealand ball skills out of the ruck and in space is night and day.

Six Nations Championship on NBC Sports. Engalnd vs. Ireland. Gonna be big boy rugby, could get ugly.

Wrong thread. This about sports.

5m scrum

Ireland holds multiple attempts at the goal line. Excellent 5 mins of big boys ramming into each other. Jesus that was brutal.

#1 is going to regret not taping his ears back.

Oh...I saw soccer being discussed...

17-13 England. 20 mins to go and they are just ramming into each other as expected. Test of Will's.

England cracked it open with a great try. English backline just way more skillful.
