    There are talks of a pro rugby league starting up here in the US. I love rugby. I'm all for a pro rugby league. Finding players should not be a problem. Washed out football players and club college rugby players would do. Rugby should catch on here in the US. It'll be like watching the Music City Miracle over and over and over.

    I played rugby my sophmore year of college up in Virginia. Man that as fun. Even when I got DDT'd, got a concussion, and lost all memory of the game, it was still a blast. Plus there's not a whole lot of sports where you beat up on guys for 90 minutes then turn around and get drunk with them while singing stupid and/or profane songs. Great fun.

    Rugby is the next up and coming sport in the US. Aussie Rules Football is afterwards.
