Not sure which it was, because I am not too familiar with either. I think it was Rugby, but at any rate, I got caught up with a game last night. It was pretty damn cool. Great game.
It was the Sydney Kangaroos vs. someone else(?) and I can't tell you much else, except that Sydney was 10 points up and the other team came roaring back.
I was kind of picking up some of the rules as the game went on: 1 point for getting the ball over the goal line on either side, 6 points for kicking it over in the small space between another 2 posts. Free kick if a team caught it on the fly inside an area near the goal. The team who had possession was not allowed to be touched if they could kick it to a teammate, who caught it on the fly. But if the ball hit the ground at any time, it resulted in a free-for-all scrum.
Goddamn exciting stuff.
Can any of you tell me more?
Mick?
