I don't know about Italy, but it's interesting in France... Legolas Send a noteboard - 08/07/2011 07:07:16 PM
I imagine France and Italy would object to being lumped in with the UK and the Commonwealth. Rugby is strong in both of those countries, as well as in Argentina.

how very much rugby is a regional phenomenon. With the exception of the Paris team, all of the teams in the French league, iirc, are from the southwestern part of the country, and if you watch a game on French television, the accents of the commentators make it fairly clear as well.

Still, that southwestern region is crazy enough about it that the games are broadcast on the national television channels...

Asking a non-Rugby fan about the All Blacks ... Nate - 09/07/2011 12:15:24 AM 644 Views
Bad analogy. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:21:23 AM 881 Views
Actually, it's a pretty good analogy... Legolas - 09/07/2011 09:44:50 AM 733 Views
So you're saying NZ culture is as relentlessly projected as American? Tom - 09/07/2011 03:00:33 PM 897 Views
Obviously not, but then American culture is projected in so many ways. Legolas - 09/07/2011 04:37:27 PM 837 Views

7/10, missed 2, 3 and 4. Number 6 was a lucky guess and I've no idea how I knew Motown *NM* kHz1000 - 08/07/2011 04:56:14 PM 352 Views
All of them. Although Motown was a guess and I tossed a coin for souvlaki. *NM* Rebekah - 08/07/2011 05:54:30 PM 360 Views
10, although I didn't actually expect my guess for #2 to be correct... *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:52:27 PM 345 Views
