The Whitney 6

I have never watched a game until this year and it is a crazy game. That is if your used to watching football. I guess if you grew up playing rugby it wouldn't be strange. It's kind of like soccer and football combined.

I have yet to learn the rules. After 15 years of watching Zack play football I still haven't learned all the rules. I swear they keep adding them. So with rugby, I may never learn them.

I know there is this group huddle called a scrum and they pass the ball backwards. It's a try instead of a goal or touchdown. They don't wear any pads and it is very, very, very physical. I guess that's what guys like. The games are shorter. I do like that. And the parents don't seem as hostile. I enjoy watching my boys play any sport and the fact that they are staying active.
