On a beautiful Friday the 13th! we were with around 30 people during Happy Hour at the Jimmy Cafe (Westpac St James Theatre) to learn about the rules of rugby.
Jimmy, thanks for the hospitality!
During an hour's performance, Dave - a real Kiwi bloke - tried to make the game sound sensible to us and I guess he succeeded well. The applause he received after his talk said more than a thousand words.
We now know more about the history of the game, the shape of the ball (http://www.rugbyfootballhistory.com/ball.htm), - the scrum - the rucks - the competitions (http://www.super14.com/), etc.
And we could enjoy much more the game of the Hurricanes against the Cheetahs afterwards in the Mac's. We have screamed our lungs out with every try 'our boys' in yellow scored on the paddock. http://www.hurricanes.co.nz/
