in a celebratory mood. A 32-12 scoreline in the First Test definitely bodes well for the competition.

can feel his smile slipping a little at the thought of someone not knowing rugby. He's a little obsessed."The All Blacks crushed the_

Springboks," he manages, smiling a little too pleased with it; he has some right to, after last year. "Good start to the Tri-Nations."

still doesn't know what rugby is. The only sport he plays is hockey.
Reuben
2010-07-12T20:23:12.000Z
blinks, almost worried. "It's...like Football?" he tries, slightly lost. "Only with no blocking, no padding and no forward passing." He_
Reuben thinks
2010-07-12T20:23:55.000Z
, anyway. Possibly more of a guess, but it's better than his knowledge of hockey at any rate, along with being a better comparison...
Kumajiro
2010-07-12T23:12:36.000Z
"Can you kick it like a football?"
Reuben
2010-07-12T23:32:10.000Z
nods, smiling again. He's glad the explanation wasn't too far off. "A lot of the time they're mandatory. Plus drop goals are worth three_

points. Not the right way to play, though." Then again, he might just be bitter losing last year because of them.
Kumajiro
2010-07-13T20:30:11.000Z
didn't know that this 'rugby' was so hard to play.
Reuben
2010-07-13T20:39:12.000Z
laughs slightly. "It's not as bad as I make it sound. You're fine if you're fast enough and have a good set of shoulders. And, some would_
Reuben
2010-07-13T20:39:15.000Z
tell you, not a great head on top of them...but that's mostly people who don't care for the sport. No reasoning with 'em."
Kumajiro
2010-07-13T20:48:30.000Z
doesn't have any of those traits that you mentioned.
Reuben thinks
2010-07-13T21:01:00.000Z
it depends on what position, really. There's plenty of variety.
Kumajiro thinks
2010-07-13T21:05:13.000Z
that this 'rugby' is very... Physical...
Reuben
2010-07-13T21:14:05.000Z
really can't argue with that in the slightest, considering most of it is tackling or in scrum. He looks a little abashed at that.
Kumajiro will
2010-07-13T21:20:06.000Z
either hurt them bad or... Not play... Your 'rugby'.
Reuben thinks
2010-07-13T21:32:23.000Z
he shouldn't worry too much about hurting people, firm in the belief in the hardiness of rugby players. With a little care...but_
Reuben
2010-07-13T21:32:32.000Z
he's willing to leave it at that. "Probably for the best. You'd demolish the competition. Wouldn't quite be fair," he sighs,_
Reuben
2010-07-13T21:32:35.000Z
almost mournfully. Admittedly, his priorities might be a little askew...
Kumajiro
2010-07-13T21:33:13.000Z
nods slightly. "Its why i play hockey"
Reuben wonders
2010-07-13T21:38:28.000Z
what position he plays. If he remembers right, hockey has it's physical moments...Then again, that might be the priorities talking.
Kumajiro
2010-07-13T21:41:16.000Z
plays goalie. "I scare them and they don't make a shot"
Reuben thinks
2010-07-13T21:47:56.000Z
for a moment before chuckling slightly, surprised. That's actually a pretty sound way of doing things. He'd never have considered it.
Kumajiro
2010-07-13T21:54:10.000Z
smiled. "Its how we won that hockey game against america"
Reuben
2010-07-13T21:59:19.000Z
laughs honestly at that. "That's good to hear. And congratulations on it, however belated."
Kumajiro
2010-07-13T22:07:12.000Z
smiles. "Why thank you."
Kumajiro
2010-07-13T22:07:52.000Z
"And congrats on that 'rugby' score of yours"
Reuben
2010-07-13T22:27:56.000Z
snorts softly. "Not a problem, you more than deserve tham. And the Springboks had it coming."
Kumajiro wonders
2010-07-13T22:32:24.000Z
how the scoreing works in rugby...
Reuben
2010-07-13T22:57:28.000Z
would be more than glad to explain; he hopes it's up to scratch. "Two main ways: getting the ball over the posts or getting it on the_
Reuben
2010-07-13T22:57:35.000Z
ground over the line. The latter's the hardest; a try is worth five points. You can try a conversion from that, kicking it over the posts_
Reuben
2010-07-13T22:57:38.000Z
for another two, if you're lucky. Otherwise it's a penalty or drop kick over the posts for three."
Kumajiro is
2010-07-13T23:00:32.000Z
very confused by these rules.
Reuben
2010-07-13T23:15:08.000Z
can sympathise. It's an odd system, but...it works in practice. He's not going to question it, and he'll leave it to the pros to keep track.
Kumajiro hopes
2010-07-14T04:39:26.000Z
that he could watch a game if its on the magic box.
Reuben thinks
2010-07-14T20:56:52.000Z
there should be plenty on, what with the Tri-Nations getting in to full swing. And, if not, he's sure to be able to find tickets...
Kumajiro
2010-07-15T05:10:45.000Z
doesn't think that live would do him any good.
Reuben
2010-07-15T21:02:55.000Z
guesses not, then. Well, if the other doesn't catch it, he'd be happy to send recordings.
Kumajiro
2010-07-15T21:04:22.000Z
would like that very much. He could turn the magic box up so high that you could probably hear it at japan's house.
Reuben
2010-07-15T21:15:17.000Z
sees absolutely no problem with that; he's all for spreading the wonder of rugby to as many people as possible. He'll see what he can send.
Kumajiro wants
2010-07-15T23:18:56.000Z
to know if ruben wants hockey tickets?
Kumajiro
2010-07-15T23:19:08.000Z
*reuben
Reuben
2010-07-15T23:24:19.000Z
might take him up on that, at some point. He wonders if there's any particular teams playing he should keep an eye out for?
Kumajiro
2010-07-16T01:54:25.000Z
"Ours"
Reuben
2010-07-16T18:30:44.000Z
winces slightly before grinning sheepishly. In retrospect, that really could have been a better question.
Kumajiro asks
2010-07-16T20:13:40.000Z
the same question. Except with the rugby teams.
Reuben
2010-07-16T21:07:02.000Z
would definitely recommend looking out for the All Blacks. The Maori do pretty well too, despite being a secondary team.
Kumajiro
2010-07-16T21:32:26.000Z
would like to know how many teams there are in this sport
Reuben
2010-07-16T21:40:33.000Z
admittedly isn't too sure. Quite a few, certainly; there are a good number of national teams around as well...
Kumajiro thinks
2010-07-17T01:06:37.000Z
that that's a good thing. "Having more than one thing is bad right?"
Reuben
2010-07-18T14:26:39.000Z
again isn't particularly sure. "I guess. It can have it's advantages, though..."
Kumajiro
2010-07-18T23:07:02.000Z
"How so?"
Reuben
2010-07-19T17:51:12.000Z
laughs slightly. "More to watch, for one. Plus a better trained talent pool, if needed."
Kumajiro thinks
2010-07-20T08:13:31.000Z
that talent is just false. "Put them in training camp and they'll will learn in time."
