A sport I haven't seen here in a while: rugby. France and Australia are playing a series of 3 test matches. Last Wednesday, Australia barely won the first one after a big mistake by the French at the end of the match. But today, France won 28-26, with a late penalty. It's their first win in Australia since 1990! I know this is only a test match, but that's a great performance nonetheless. Final match this Saturday. Too early for me to watch unfortunately (and I don't really know where I could find it anyways)

Yeah you're making sense on what you're
putting down as a prediction which very okay to have such game here for rugby fans as well.
Good job of you you're doing well!
I am not sure what you are saying, as I didn't make any prediction. These are 2 games that were already played.
Yeah I know is not today game but tell you that it a good idea for rugby fans to be seen their game here too
Which team are you supporting in finals ?
I like the French team, but I am not sure they'll be able to repeat such performance in the last match
Used to love seeing those runs and brawls in the game but unfortunately don't quite understand how points are counted and many other things. Seems I will have to study this sport. It seems quite popular in Europe
hehehe it looks very complex at first, but when you get around the basic rules it's not that hard
Yeah like most sports. Should be able to know lot about before it before the month end we I'll be putting some attention towards understanding it
When I watch it on TV in the States, they actually do a decent job trying to explain some of what's happening, penalties in particular. Of course, growing up in Europe, I did know most of the basics.
Oh. Good one you get wiyh the commentary and all on TV. Over here in this side of the world, not much is talked about rugby. Only very Few people know what the sport entails.
Just watching on the TV may be through sports news or some movie shows it' shows people really love it. Seems some high school students prefer it to soccer.
We still don't get many rugby games on TV in the US, but at least on the channels I have, we got the Six Nations tournament, the biggest one in Europe, and of course the World Cup. An if I really want to see other games, I can stream from French channels.
Great. Our local stations don't even air them at all. They even have a world cup of their of own, how cool it must be. Happen to also get to see some through subscription on satellite TV or streaming sites.
very interesting game but anyone who must be thinking of playing that game must be thinking of how to gym and build his body very well. i am yet to watch women playing ruby? Does women play this game as well?
I admit I never watched an entire women rugby game, just some highlights, but it does exist. The women World Cup was supposed to take place this year in New Zealand but was postponed till 2022 because of pandemic. Just like men rugby, New Zealand is one of the best nations in women rugby.
wow... i will like to watch their ruby but i am not sure it will be as difficult as that of men that need to carry wait before going into the sport
I don't know much about rubgy but I tend to treat it more like American football. I know there are differences but I don't bother as much
There are similarities for sure. But one thing I really prefer in rugby is the fact they don't stop the play every few seconds like in American football.
That's true. It's more dynamic
But I prefer american football because I find it more strategic
Now there's a fun game. I knew nothing about rugby when I loved in the States, but it is fairly popular with many people in Japan. There is a small camp for it near my house so I can watch little kids training every year.
Wow, it's been a while since I watched rugby for the last time!
Your comment made me want to watch a match
The next world cup in 2023 will be in France, my home country. I'm really hoping I can go back and attend a couple of live matches. Like most sports, it's good on TV, but so much better live!
