Link: Big game Saturday in B1G country

TitleWave · Oct 30, 2014

Fortunately, it doesn't feature any B1G teams, but far better players (on one side, anyhow).

(Mods, hope this ain't too much a teaser title but figured since 'Bama's got a bye, maybe folks could use a little levity and maybe a little enlightenment about the all-conquering "Crimson Tide of New Zealand.")

Can't wait! I don't have unrealistic expectations - the U.S. is playing against a rugby machine (New Zealand). Hopefully this will give U.S. rugby a boost. I've often wondered, had a bunch NFL guys pursued rugby instead of football, how good our national team would be. Of course, since there's no monetary incentive to play rugby in the U.S. ...

It must be tough being Richie McCaw... fending off marriage proposals daily, being the most popular guy in the country, etc. I expect he'll retire after the world cup. I do wonder whether they'll play their top players on Saturday.

I'm just hoping the Eagles don't embarrass themselves. We're getting better, but much like soccer we have a LONG way to go. Glad to hear the game sold out!
