I hate polluting this thread, but here goes anyway...

I've never seen a rugby match in my life, but there are college rugby teams in the U.S. It's just not a "national sport" like baseball is. Baseball is bigger than rugby I think - at least it's huge here, and in Japan, Central/South America, and it's catching on in Europe. Baseball is America's pasttime (maybe second to American (non-soccer) Football)

I'd come to NZ in a heartbeat... just let me save up some cash. Just be sure to research/show me the hottest LOTR filming locations Love those movies!

But let me finish with this - this thread is for fantasy baseball fans, so I don't wanna pollute it...
