    Andy, I'll try to explain, it's very simple really. It's like baseball, but requires some skill. Unlike "soccer" the score usually runs into three digit numbers so should appeal to Americans. And there's a "world series" once every four years called the Ashes

    Yeah, I had a friend who tried to explain it to me once. As he was sorting out some of the nuances my mind drifted towards Rugby where, as I understand it, is much simpler. See that bloke with the ball? Get him.
