2011 Rugby World Cup New Zealand

Since we are only 1 year before the RWC, I'm going to start a thread on it. Basically, I'd like to know if you play, if you've already seen some, or anything you want about rugby union. The official website is http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/.

Me, for a starter, discover the sport about 2 months ago, when I was given the choice between Rugby and Lacrosse for a summer sport (I can't not play sports). I decided to try rugby, as I already knew lacrosse (and had a place reserved, so I could have decided to join the team anytime). That sport is seriously crazy awesome. Basically, it's 2 teams of 15 players (30 players on field total) moving a ball forward and doing some intense hits with no other protection than a mouthpiece (well actually, there are some "helmets" that mainly serve to protect the ears, but they are not common).

I don't play rugby, but, being in Auckland, I'll be interested to see how the trains and buses cope
