Love Aussie Rules. Combines the best of football, soccer and rugby into a great game.

That was my question too. You can’t tell me the network guys weren’t stupid enough to not cover a contingency like that.

When there was a strike about 50 years ago, folks got used to watching Canadian Football. Love those wide fields.

Rugby is considered a lot more accessible to a mass American audience - similar enough to the football they are used to, that even somebody who has only ever watched the American game can work out roughly what is going on straight away.

I will be watching. It is high time that Rugby stepped into the spotlight. A real man’s sport.
