The All-Star Rugby Game at Sydney Uni

On Friday, May 6^th, three of my friends and I were off to Manning Bar on campus to drink a few beers before the night began. As we were walking to Manning, we heard loud cries from the rugby field to the left of us. We stopped to see what was a team in black uniforms, as we now know were New Zealanders, doing some sort of monstrous chant. One of my friends, Adam, then informed us that this was a native aboriginal chant that the New Zealand rugby team does before the game commences. This was so interesting to us that instead of going to the bar, we ended up going to this game instead, which was free for students (GREAT surprise). To further our excitement, we found out that this was an all-star rugby game. All-star Australians vs all-star New Zealanders – this was an epic game we had to watch. Although, I do not know all the rules of rugby, I know an intense game when I see one, then again I think all rugby games are intense because the game is so vicious. Rugby seems like such a powerful game— tackling, sprinting, kicking, and pushing. It is definitely an entertaining sport to watch, even if you don’t know all the rules!
