England Academy

I'm sure there are a large number of you that don't know what the Six Nations Championship is, maybe you don't even know what rugby is (*shame* on you), but I can still recommend the BBC's England Academy game. There are 6 skill tests so you can train in all the basics of rugby (unfortunately for my French, Italian, Irish, Welsh & Scottish friends you have to play as England for this bit - the rest of you don't have a team in the championship at all!), and then you can pick your own team, and play your own 6 nations. Superb. Not my normal cup of tea, but it's so well done I love it.

well, people usually run out of steam along about post #12 or so. then we actually get posts by people who have clicked to the site, or at least read Graeme's commentary about it.

i.e., the "number" posts top out about where the posters run out of fingers to count on.

Ohh look a game about a sport that is only played at some catholic schools and colleges. And they seem to play without pads, and with a funny watermelon shaped ball.

Well at least we Americans still have our Football (aside from the world league). Of course we need robots and have to allow weapons as its just not violent enough.

All kidding aside, will have to test my mettle at this game. Whats with the funny outfits though? Not that I have a thing against stripes, but why?

Michael, shut the f*ck up! What the hell is wrong with rugby, it's far tougher that american football (where they have a ten minute ret after every play)

Um, I think Michael was kidding.
Apparently I suck just as much at video rugby as at real rugby.
