Your attempt at adding 94 countries of the world to the "rugby zone" is laudable, but it's no more relevant than saying that Jamaicans compete in bobsled events all the time just because they entered a bobsled team in the Winter Olympics. Token membership is a far cry from actual fandom.


Russia has a professional league... or at least it is described as professional, I think the reality is that it is semi-professional. Still though, that puts it some way ahead of the Jamaican Bob-sleigh team;)

He also misspelled Walesa. *NM* Tom - 08/07/2011 03:14:10 PM 310 Views
He misspelled everything, hence the entire conversation. *NM* nossy - 08/07/2011 03:19:11 PM 302 Views
I missed Question 4. I think that's hardly general knowledge. Tom - 08/07/2011 03:13:22 PM 558 Views

Or it's 94 of the world's countries. Rebekah - 08/07/2011 05:52:54 PM 534 Views
I don't know about Italy, but it's interesting in France... Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:07:16 PM 534 Views
not exactly snoopcester - 08/07/2011 07:20:58 PM 601 Views
Oh. Oh well, close enough. *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:51:47 PM 282 Views

That will change when Russia re-invades. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:23:13 AM 525 Views

Asking a non-Rugby fan about the All Blacks ... Nate - 09/07/2011 12:15:24 AM 452 Views
Bad analogy. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:21:23 AM 667 Views
Actually, it's a pretty good analogy... Legolas - 09/07/2011 09:44:50 AM 549 Views
So you're saying NZ culture is as relentlessly projected as American? Tom - 09/07/2011 03:00:33 PM 635 Views
Obviously not, but then American culture is projected in so many ways. Legolas - 09/07/2011 04:37:27 PM 656 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 267 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 277 Views
10, although I didn't actually expect my guess for #2 to be correct... *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:52:27 PM 227 Views
