I'm running out of topics to talk about on my own, so I have resulted to looking up articles on Yahoo! about recent events in the Rugby World Cup :) It appears that Scotland has had three wins so far, but they have "have struggled to produce beautiful, free-flowing rugby." However, a win is a win, so it doesn't really matter how shoddy their technique was! What really stood out in this article to me was that I couldn't picture rugby plays as "beautiful" and "free-flowing" the first time we watched a game here. When I sat down and watched the USA get killed by Australia the other day, I really noticed how graceful the plays could really be. I saw a perfect zig-zag technique during that game and just had so much respect for the plays that I hadn't really noticed before. Winger, Sean Lamont said, "At the end of the day, you can play beautiful rugby and still lose." I can also understand this because I feel like that happens in a lot of sports. Sometimes everything goes right on the field, but scoring just seems impossible. I'm actually very interested to see how the Scots do the rest of the way through the World Cup. Will they keep getting as lucky as they have been so far? Hopefully the Scots will win the next game and end up in the quarter-finals with their "arch rival," England. I'm always going to cheer for the team that gets lucky!!
