He is saying "two." That is in early indication of his intention to run for a second term in 2004...

WHERE do you change it? I see the properties are 813 x 621. Aside from my math difficulties on THAT proportion, say that I wanted to change it to 613x421, where would I place that information?

From what I saw in the Ireland/England rugby match, the reverse is also true. Most of them wouldn't last two minutes in an NFL game either. They're not used to a 6'5" 280 lb. defensive back (who runs a 4.4 40) in full equipment smashing into them.I highly doubt that NFL defensive back in "AS IS" condition could touch a rugby player, not speaking about smashing into one. Naturally, you can grow a good rugby player from an NFL defensive backs, but it will require new skills and a rugby game played by converted NFL defensive backs will be the same rugby game.

The american version of rugby is more like football without the benefit of protection ... the version played in most other countries is more refined, more passing and intricate team work.The difference is that players in the some other countries learn early how to tackle.

Advice to Bush: Skip the Mideast, Hit the Rugbyfest. Don't reward Abu Mazen for terrorism, reward John Howard for his loyalty.

LOL! Got a magnifying glass?

In Rugby, possession is more important than a good tackle. Since in Rugby Union the play doesnt stop when someone is tackled, a good hit could take you out of play and let the other team pick up the ball and score.

I had absolutely no idea Americans played rugby.It blows my mind to think Mr Bush played.
I hope he's there to watch us retain the world cup.:)

Based on the photo and the sport, the President must have been fast as hell back then.
