Currently is the world cup of Rugby. Dont know if some follow this but personally I dont like this sport very much while I followed it some years ago.
Seeing how Georgia progressed in this sport (from 0) with some linking with wrestling/football make me wonder why the sport is so inexistant in IranComment
