Slow down, I’m still trying to figure out rugby.

I used to work in London two weeks a month and became a big fan of Rugby “League” as opposed to Rugby “Union”. Rugby League is non-stop action. 7 “downs” to move the ball down the field to score. I actually preferred it to the NFL if only because if you blink during a half, you could miss something.

LOL for many, many years I have had the game of cricket explained to my by my Brit friends.

Until the new Pooh Bear reader (first one in 80 years) I never understood the game. However, in one chapter Christoper Robin and his buddies in the 100 Acre Wood play cricket and finally I understand how the game is played!

Me too. But after I watch a Rugby game (match, whatever) I'm exhausted. I've never had a clue what was going on in a Cricket game (match, whatever).
