I love watching rugby. It’s amazing and always a great show to look at.
Today, while I’m waiting for the All Blacks/Scotland match to begin, I felt like writing here some of the good things that rugby brings into my heart.
Please consider that I have been very close to this sport, event though I have never played it, because several good friends of mine, since we were in our 20’s, were rugby players with Amatori Rugby Milano and CUS Milano.
Among them I want to highlight: Emanuele Cappelli, Fabrizio Feltri, Andrea Gentili.
The key thing is the set of values that are at the foundations of this sport: discipline, strength, honesty, respect, friendship, amusement.
But the match is about to begin, I have to go…

Hey Dario,
What about the rugby last weekend? Some amazing and unexpected results: NZ and Australia have gone home and we’ve got a Northern Hemisphere semifinal on Saturday (France v England) and a Southern Hemisphere semifinal on Sunday (SA v Argentina). Who do you think will be in the final?

Ciao Liz,
Well, we can say that we will have two amazing semifinal rounds.
I have lost a number of matches, but I do remember SA vs. England, where I have been impressed by the SA defense, quite impenetrable.
My take is that, if the strongest teams in the world are note succeeding in this WC, we might have Argentina or France winning the championship. Still, South Africa really impressed me in the match that I saw, against England. They could get together again…

Hey Liz and All,
SA did it again. England made an impressive match, but simply wasn’t enough.
SA is the 2007 rugby world champion!
Good job.
