I think we were talking about the rugby in different countries, if Australia isn't a very rugbier country which are the most important sports (I guess football is not in the list, is it?

Sorry)

scotland48 · 02-05-2009, 10:07 AM

Football probably is the most popular sport in Scotland

weeks543 · 04-05-2009, 12:28 PM

AFL and Rugby League are the most popular sports here in winter but summer it is cricket, everyone follows cricket, its our national sport.

mcalisterishuge · 04-05-2009, 05:26 PM

cricket.. is it exciting??? just like baseball in USA.. but I think cricket is harder to play..

scotland48 · 04-05-2009, 09:31 PM

I like playing cricket

but watching it is seriously boring

Joe_AFC · 07-05-2009, 07:23 PM

i been playing since about 8 for 2 local clubs

weeks543 · 10-05-2009, 09:06 AM

Cricket is great, everyone loves it in Australia, I played for 7 years and then I quit because I got sick of getting up at 7.00am on saturday mornings

Sorry i double posted

Yes, at least one of these 'minnow' sports has got a game coming along.
On the lines of future rugby titles, (believe it or not)
There is a Clint Eastwood movie in the works that is based on the Rugby World Cup in 1995. It has the likes of Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman.
No lie, maybe this will give the American population a glance into the wonderful world of rugby.

weeks543 · 12-05-2009, 11:34 AM

It better do so. Apparently it's going to be good, Morgan Freemans playing Nelson Mandela and Matt Damons playing Francois Pienaar, I saw some interview with someone form the movie and they said the movies mainly about the uniting of black and white south africans and that stuff and rugbys just a backdrop to that. Jonah Lomu is played by someone but I forget who.

Should be good.

scotland48 · 13-05-2009, 08:01 AM

Zak Feaunati has been cast as New Zealand player Jonah Lomu.

weeks543 · 13-05-2009, 12:00 PM

Yeh thats it, does he look like him?

scotland48 · 13-05-2009, 03:55 PM

This is Zak Feaunati.

weeks543 · 15-05-2009, 11:19 AM

hmmmmm........ I wonder if he's a good actor, though I suppose he won't really be speaking much.

scotland48 · 16-05-2009, 08:12 PM

Not much speaking but he will be running about alot.

weeks543 · 17-05-2009, 12:06 PM

yeh lol....... hopefully they do the scene where he runs over the top of Mike Catt, lol that would be great

scotland48 · 23-05-2009, 05:40 PM

Ohhh I remember seeing that somewhere didnt he run over will carling as well and will carling called him a freak.

weeks543 · 24-05-2009, 08:44 AM

Yeh he got the ball like 30m out off a lalalala pass and I think it was Will Carling who ankle tapped him and Lomu was stumbling and Catt got in his way and he just went straight over the top

scotland48 · 24-05-2009, 10:31 AM

memories...
