A. watch a game. it is like the best sport ever. fast, exciting, and involves players to be physically good at both offence and defence. players can make unpredictable plays, in both offence and defence, at any time in the game. games can come down to the final seconds, or the last goal kick/field goal to win. the number of fans it draws to games gives it a mouth-watering atmosphere. NRL is like a culture for Australia. we love it, it represents us, and we are good at it. whether a game is locked at 16-all with 2 minutes to go, or the score is 50-0 with 2 minutes to go, it is still exciting to watch.

A. in defense, you always want your line man on man. i would suggest having them stand off a little in order to drive the play one way. if the runner has the option of going two different ways, the defender has a harder time defending that. if the defender positions themself in such a manner that the ball carrier is offset from him, then the runner will likely run in the direction away from the defender X---X--- X--- X--- X O ---O ---O --- O --- O in this example the offense (denoted by the O) is offset. so when the first offensive player gets the ball he can only run straight or right. running left makes him run right at the defender. eventually the ball will get to the wing, and the sideline will act as an extra defender. thats one… [cont.]

What should my favorite national rugby team be?
Q. Hey guys, I have just become interested in rugby. My favorite club team is Leicester Tigers and I need a favorite national team. Some teams I would consider are France, Ireland, South Africa(even though racist), or All Blacks.

A. Leicester Tigers? Support England! why on earth would you support the ABs or the Boks if you are English? "When England are low, they bounce back high, unlike those Springboks, that just sit and cry. Swing Low Sweet Chariot"
