Jesus Can't Play Rugby

In a popular post-game rugby party chant, there are a lot of reasons why Jesus can’t play rugby. Among them…

-His dad will fix the game
-He can’t support a hooker
-His headgear is illegal…

This was one of many things Chaps and I were taught at the Rugby 7s World Cup in San Francisco last week. After speaking with Aussie fans we were also informed that, indeed, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland every three months.

And yes, I’ve blogged about the sport, our time in San Francisco regarding the stats & winners (New Zealand for both men & women’s teams).. but I’m still floating off the good vibes.

We spoke with fans from Ireland, Hong Kong, Canada, England, Zimbabwe (most asked us to give Zah a shout-out & we even FaceTimed at one point so fans could talk to him), Australia, Scotland, states from around the U.S., Fiji, New Zealand, Sweden (a crab informed me they were not even in the tournament)…

It was like the world threw a Halloween party, everyone showed up in costumes and got hammered, and no fights even broke out. Could rugby be the new high-brow sport…???
