Last night I watched my first half of Rugby. Rae, thankfully, knew what the hell was going on so it was education time for me. The bits where they ran was okay, lots of not much happening and many confusing stats. I thought that was it, no need to get interested, until this morning.
Cruising the Rugby World Cup site I stumbled across the Canadian Rugby team and discovered they were called, you guessed it, The Canucks.
So, given my allegiance to all things Canuck, I am now an avid Rugby fan. The plan is to get to a game (they are playing twice in Melbourne at Telstra Dome) and wear my Canucks jersey. Hopefully I’ll cheer in the right places but at least I’ll be able to yell “Go ‘nucks” in my home town.
