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 misspelled everything, hence the entire conversation. *NM* nossy - 08/07/2011 03:19:11 PM 313 Views
I missed Question 4. I think that's hardly general knowledge. Tom - 08/07/2011 03:13:22 PM 583 Views

Or it's 94 of the world's countries. Rebekah - 08/07/2011 05:52:54 PM 569 Views
I don't know about Italy, but it's interesting in France... Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:07:16 PM 557 Views

Asking a non-Rugby fan about the All Blacks ... Nate - 09/07/2011 12:15:24 AM 484 Views
Bad analogy. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:21:23 AM 700 Views
Actually, it's a pretty good analogy... Legolas - 09/07/2011 09:44:50 AM 570 Views
So you're saying NZ culture is as relentlessly projected as American? Tom - 09/07/2011 03:00:33 PM 667 Views
Obviously not, but then American culture is projected in so many ways. Legolas - 09/07/2011 04:37:27 PM 681 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 282 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 286 Views
10, although I didn't actually expect my guess for #2 to be correct... *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:52:27 PM 239 Views
