    I came across the video the other day...pretty brief. It gives a good run down of the basic laws. http://www.videobash.com/video_show/rules-to-rugby-49363

    Referee Lewis to retire

    I guess it was just a matter of time. I've always enjoyed watching Alan Lewis matches, especially when someone draws out his famous "don't do that again" look. http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/138273.html

    Chris White

    NZ v FRA & Barnes

    I thought today's matches were great. But could I get an honest view from everyone on Barnes' match? I don't think he had his best game today, but will not say his decisions caused NZ to loose. After all, they had over 70% of the ball. I'm talking about the yc, the forward pass, the no call...

    Try of the tournament
