I was at a Tahs game a few weeks ago and the half time entertainment was High School ladies 7's.
I've never seen a crowd so into the half time entertainment. More cheers for those girls than the Tahs.

Re: Very much looking forward to the 2015 RWC
I'd write the Argies off at your peril. I can't see them bumping off both SA and NZ, but both of those teams are capable of losing at the Quarters (NZ if they face France, and SA will likely face one of Wales, England or Australia). If that happens, it is anyone's game.

If UM Punter Pat O'Donnell doesn't make the NFL, someone should convince him to play rugby.
6'4, 220lbs, 4.64 40, 23 Reps of the Bench, 30.5" Vertical jump.
Looks like a fullback to me. I bet he played Linebacker in highschool as well with that size.
