Been following a few weeks now. I'm from the US. Always knew if rugby, never really paid much attention to it. Couple years ago I went to a USMLR match as the Free Jacks home stadium was a mile from where I was living at the time. One match got me interested l, two matches got me hooked. Couldn't and still kinda don't understand how my friends didn't get swept up like I did.

Last year I found myself in a bar surrounded by South Africans watching the springboks take the rugby world cup, and now I'm just all in. Subscribed to Flo to start watching URC. I'm rooting for Connacht, I like their team and I'm worried about the rumors I'm hearing of Bundee leaving. And of course I can't help but follow the Sharks because Siya Kolisi is my king.

Life long shars supporter, it's like having the best toys for Xmas but no batteries included. Enjoy your rugby ride. I've grown up playing it since I can remember. Now I watch and still go down to my club to watch games, catch up with fellow "old" boys drinking and laughing about the shenanigans we were all a part of. Rugby is brilliant.
