Now for rugby that i spretty simple

you get 1 point for kickign it through the posts 3 points ( called a tri) for downing it over the line. you can no forward pass the ball and tend to advance it by latteraling it to other players on your team. If you can not advance it and run into block of oppsing players you tend to turn your back to them lean into them and latteral or hand the ball to another player on your team. If the ball goes out of bounds the oppssing team hasa throw in. A scrum is set up with both teasm interlocking themselves with oppssign hookers suspend by their props the ball is then thrown into the middle of the scrum the hookers then try to use their legs to "hook" the ball and passit back through their team with everyone using their legs till the ball pops out and a winger or is it called a halfback picks it up and starts the play.

ok how did i do for a dumb American chick

Hmm I assume he meant that native Americans do not follow football? I base this on the fact that he implied that imigrants or the American of imigrant background are the only ones that follow the sport. That would imply that everyone but Native Americans (ie indians) do follow it. I assume this radio show was kinda a low brow redneck kinda show but what you describe. [img]smile.gif[/img] Oh as for hockey do you mean hockey or the fights that the NHL puts on? I do ten dto love to watch hockey at the olypic or international level but really find the NHL with all their fighting rather unenjoyable.

On by the way America has been beaten in Olympic basketball several times.

Donut sorry for some reason I thought you were an Aussie must be the accent [img]smile.gif[/img] touche on calling me canadian.[/QUOTE]
