All I'm saying is, the biggest Rugby tournament? The Five Nations. What are the five nations? England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and
France.
Bicycling, however, is an example of something that, like winemaking, Americans have taken from the French, mastered, bettered, and now shove into their faces. Viva Lance!
Seriously, I've been to enough rugby matches to know that it is a bad-ass sport. I'd even go so far as to say one has to be more than a little crazy to play it (not a ringing endorsement of our President in itself). But to most of America, it's one of those crazy European/east coast sports like crew or fencing. A real American doesn't mess around with sports like that when he could be playing football, basketball or baseball instead.
