England vs Australia

[citrusjava]

I am trying to watch rugby. Because I suspect I would like sports if I got into it, I just never had anybody into it to show me the way. And people were talking about this game, so I decided to try it.

1) The most relat3able thing for me was some story about someone playing AC/DC's Thunderstruck during training (?) for some reason (?) - the AC/DC part I did get right....

2) Holy shit! Sports are violent! Those people are slamming into each other, jumping and grabbing each other in the air, lifting each other up to catch the ball! I am used to European football, they don't do that then, that I know !

3) I kinda feel like trying that sort of jump where you lunge yourself into someone's middle and just go for it

Aw, I guess it's just not for everyone.
For me it was always a boys' thing, and the boys who used to pick on me at school, too, so NO....
but maybe it's time?

I love strategy, I love brilliant cool strategy, if I can get and appreciate it. And I like games fine. If I understood chess better, perhaps I would enjoy watching games, if those are broadcasted anywhere. A nd I love fandom. And if I get into sports, I'd have so much to watch .

Heh, it's definitely a huge fandom, in it's own way. The "so much to watch" aspect is part of what makes me wary. It's kind of the same way I don't want to get invested in World of Warcraft, because if I turned out to like it, it would eat so much of my time.
