BYU Rugby

Let me say upfront that, aside from Greg, our family knows next to nothing about the sport of rugby. Greg knows some of the rules and the general gist of the game. I know that rugby players have ginormous thighs and are a tough lot.
However, when we learned that BYU was playing in the national championship game in Salt Lake we couldn't pass up the chance to support our Cougars. We bought our tickets to the game at Rio Tinto Stadium and headed up on Saturday night.

We were pleasantly surprised at the show of support for BYU. Obviously some people really know what is going on in this game and the fans were great. We sat next to a girl who knew a lot and was giving a running commentary to her clueless friend, so I listened in and learned quite a bit.


The kids were restless, but I think still had a good time. Uncle Jarom came with us, so Enoch was happy. We would have all been happy if BYU had won. They lost to Cal 21-14. Cal was an incredible team, even I could see how good they were.
It was a fun night - something different that we haven't done before. Rugby is a very fun sport to watch and we hope to catch more games in the future. Go Cougars!
