[SOC] the real reason

[Chris Redding]

Quite right Claude, violence is almost unheard of at rugby matches...well,
off the field anyway.
As regards the American angle, I am surprised that rugby never took off in
the USA. Over here it comes in two different flavours - Rugby Union and
Rugby League.
Rugby League is the ancestor of American Gridiron football, except that it
doesn't keep stopping every five minutes for TV advertisements.
Perhaps it's an attention span thing...after all if you can watch Cricket,
you can watch anything!.

p.s Are the Americans following the fortunes of their footie team in Japan
with great interest?. They play Portugal, S Korea and Poland in their
eliminator group, and stand a fighting chance of going through, but many
Americans seem unaware that they are even in the competition. (???)
