Rugby Initiation

Tim woke us up at 6:30 this morning so that we could catch the start of the NZ All Blacks vs Marseille Les Bleus match. The All Blacks begin every game with the traditional Maori hakka dance... talk about intimidation factor.

The All Black currently have a commanding lead - 32-12. They are the winningest team in Rugby - something like a 75% win rate in the club's history - but they lost out on the most recent world cup (in an embarassing quarterfinal loss). South Africa is the reigning world champ, but the Marseille club has beaten them three times in the past year. So, this game has some significance.

Can't you tell Tim is a great Rugby tutor?

I will say that the game is ridiculously addicting. All the hits of football but at a faster pace! Could you ask for more?
