Rugby Union is THE sport here in NZ. Our national team are called the All Blacks.
Actually Canada does have a rugby team - they came to NZ a while ago and were interviewed on the news. All I remember is that half of them were ex-hockey players lol.

I'm a Penn State fan, but not a fanatic. Game weekends out there are ridiculous, and seem to be the only time I can make it to visit, at least in the fall.
