It takes a special type of individual to play rugby, but rarely do rugby players consider themselves as such. Tough, resilient and strong are words often related to the sport, and rightly so. Players challenge themselves and their minds in marathon games that require more than just fit bodies and broad shoulders.

Hehehe! I remember my first two years on the board where I could not say the word Rugby. Robert would delete me immediately. Now we have an article dedicated to the sport! lol.

I don't think it was the WORD Rugby that caused Robert the problem Chris - I think he was worried you were going top burst into full cry of 'If I were the Marrying kind, which thank the Lord I'm not sir .............' or 'Roll me over .........'

Congrats on SA beating Fiji. GB v SA Final?? Yeah ....:bunny:..... right!! ~ Grahame

Robert, when will you do an article on polo or tennis?
I know there's a well known polo team owned by Luis Arturo Carbuccia. He is also the head of the Asociaci?n Dominicana de Polo (ADOPOLO).

My Apologies GH - you are absolutely right to show my error. I should have said Eng v SA rather than GB. I commiserate with you also as it would have been wonderful to see a Murrayfield-Twickers clash.

I hope you can force yourself a small change of heart to support the 'Old Men' of Eng in the semi's but if not ..... 'Lang may ye sporran tickle ye'!! :cheeky: ~ Grahame.

We'd be in for that ... maybe on a Sunday? I have a childhood friend and his wife in town for a few weeks - we'll be at Chris and Mady's in Cofresi this Sunday around 3pm for the game.

Stay well,
Amy

So, what do you all say? Good game, good rugby, good sportsmanship and good teams. For my little sports-mad country, it means a further sense of unity and unifying without race or color confusing the issue! Kinda nice!

Congratulations Chris and all other South Africans. Good game? not really, but good result! It would have been terrible for rugby if England would have gone away with the trophy again after four lousy years and a mediocre tournament. I really enoyed seeing a Latin American country make real progress and be up there with the big boys...

Anybody know more about those rugby clubs in Santo Domingo? Are they serious, or is it more like a beer league thing where beginners can join up and play?

I'm a Canadian who will be living in S.D. for most of 2010. Never played rugby, but I've played Australian Rules Football, and am looking to get involved in something similar while I'm down there.

It's serious. They practice at the Olympico every Saturday and they organize games and activities.
