Rugby is a sport? I thought it was a handicraft.

LOL, of course it's a sport no one here plays...
Interesting thread. The premise is flawed however in that for whatever reason, top athletes in the US have gravitated toward other sports.
As someone who has only ever watched rugby once, I cannot consider myself well versed in its nuances, however I dont doubt they are athletes. What is interesting is that the OP claims that the game is faster and we obviously know that they wear no protection like they do in American football. So the question I have is where are all of the head injuries in Rugby?
One last point is that as Goodell and Demaurice Smith continue to dismantle American football and turn it into a shell of its former self, which I predicted months ago and we see playing out with new rules changes, you will see these top athletes gravitate toward other sports and rugby may just be one of them. If that happens, I would suspect that it would not be long until the US completely dominated the sport.
Be careful what you ask for, one day you cold find yourself whining and crying because the US took over yet another sport[/QUOTE
Y'know you could well be right. But no one will moan or whine provided that the USA dont think they own the sport. Good luck to them. This shows the team that thrashed the US being thrashed in turn by the Fijians, now 14 times HK 7s champions. The camera work is atrocious but I guess it is amateur despite the on screen logo.

Well your premise was that the population if the country somehow impacts the strength of this particular sport. It does not
What are the sevens?

Well, I'll say it again, it gets more relevant with each of your postings: There is no humour without 'U'. Funny how the average American has to be fed his humour under huge neon signs that say, 'The following is humourous.'
