New fan of Rugby

Over the weekend, while writing in my journal and flipping through channels. I stopped on the England station that had a rugby match just starting. Since preseason football not on TV and college not started yet, I tuned in. All I have to say is Holy Crap! I am a fan! I was really impressed with the speed of the game, the brutal hits and not much down time. It was great, I saw a guy on the All Blacks team run into an opponent, in which the All Blacks guy broke his eye socket and got a concussion, then someone else on the other team on a tackle broke his nose. There was blood gushing from his nose and parts of bone sticking out the top. It was gross, yet I was enthralled with the action taking place. The NFL has nothing on these guys, this guys make the NFL plays look like sissies. I will keep looking for more games to come but wow they have made me a fan.
