Rugby Time

I am in hog heaven. Super 14 rugby started today and I have been watching match after match. I woke up this morning and immediately got online (since that is the only place in America where you can get world class rugby.) I watched my favorite Super 14 team the Canterbury Crusaders play a hard won match against the Waikato Chiefs. For those who don't follow rugby these are New Zealand teams, the Crusaders in Christchurch and the Chiefs from Hamilton. In my opinion the best rugby in the world is played in New Zealand where the greatest team in rugby, the New Zealand Allblacks, are from. Super 14 rugby is made up of teams from New Zealand (Canterbury Crusaders, Auckland Blues, Waikato Chiefs, Wellington Hurricanes, and the Southland Highlanders), Australia (Australian Capital Territory Brumbies, New South Wales Waratahs, Queensland Reds, and the Western Force), and South Africa (Natal Sharks, Cape Stormers, Pretoria Blue Bulls, Free State Cheetahs, and the Lions not sure where they are from.) Usually the national teams are made up of players from these teams. Again in my opinion these three nations have the best rugby with New Zealand number 1. There are those who will argue that some teams from Europe are the best but when you watch these southern hemisphere teams play they bring more intensity and verve to the game and usually outclass the northern hemisphere teams. Well that's enough for now and back to the great game.
