Well yesterday I went to Westpac Stadium and saw my first ever rugby match. For those who don't know rubgy is the original Football and American Football was derived from rugby rules, they were just modified by a Yale student. The major difference is in rugby there is no forward pass.
Rugby players are mad by the way. No pads whatsoever and there isn't rapid substitutions like in football. The 15 starters play two 40 minute halves and there is no blocking for the person with the ball, they just have to fend for themselves. Good shit eh?
Well it was Hurricanes (home team) vs. the 1st place Crusaders. Crusaders won 20-13 and overall is was a pretty good match, the Hurricanes had a few mistakes that cost them in the end. Oh, they have cheerleaders here and they just adopted the "kiss cam" where the jumbotron makes two people kiss. They love it over here, and the kisses aren't pecks like you see in America, they are in your face make-out sessions. Always makes for a good chuckle, haha!
Cheers,
Yours truly,
Luke
