Jamaica vs US Team -- Rugby

US Wins 37 -22
 
 
   

I really enjoyed my first Rugby game.  I went to the field at the University of North Florida, 1 UNF Drive  Jacksonville, FL 32224.  Phone: (904) 620-1000.  The school is noted, in addition to its many academic possibilities, for a strong aquatic program. Gina, a Mars-roving robot, was built by UNF students.  Check their website for more information. Several of the players on the American team were from the Jacksonville Axemen.  Check out their website for more information on the game.

 It's a cross between American football and soccer.  Even the ball looks different.  Neither round nor "oval," it looks like a squashed football.  They pass laterally, not forward.  Rugby is a very active sport.  I watched the US team practice before the game and one group had shields and the other kept slamming into them like Samurai wrestlers.  Well, they needed the practice.
   
 The winners -- 37-22. 
 I don’t know who everyone is, but these fans sure seem to like being around the Jacksonville Axe Maidens.  Check their website.
