Last night I attended the Brisbane Broncos vs. Melbourne Storm Rugby League game. I am definitely a new fan! Melbourne won by one try (try=touchdown). It is quite a bit different than our football, which Aussies call "gridiron". It is fast paced. No timeouts. One guy from the Storm split his head and a trainer bandaged him up on the field, without anyone ever stopping the game. They wear no protective gear or cups. They get 6 tackles per run and can only pass the ball backwards. I wanted to chant "Boomer......Sooner" on my way out, but refrained ;)
