As you know, Tim...

my son lives in England - - Feltwell. Little farming community north of London. One of my grandson's there plays Rugby. I have never seen him play - "live", I've only seen videos. It hurts my heart.

They came to visit this summer and we spent HOURS talking Rugby... the team, the sport. From my son's description it sounds fantastic... not just the game, (which is great), but the whole atmosphere around the games.

I laughed a little this last year when my son would send me photos of the games... because in the photos I could see "Dads", some "Moms", standing on the sidelines having an Ale. But my son reports that he has never once seen a parent 'get out of control'.

Anyway.... I dropped DirecTV and you know what I miss the most? Watching Rugby. This last Rugby season, (which for my grandson is basically the entire school year), I had started watching the sport trying to learn the game. Like Soccer.. I got addicted. I knew, nor know, nothing about the leagues.. who's who... and very little about the rules... but my GOODNESS it's fun to watch. - JamesJM
