Semi-OT: USA Rugby Today

[DaBruinz]

Anyone know if Men's Rugby is going to be broadcast today??? I really want to watch Ebner and Team USA

I'm interested in this as well being a former college rugby player myself. I really enjoyed watching a couple of the women's matches yesterday.

I was able to find the US men's rugby broadcast schedule on NBC's Olympic site:

August 9: United States vs. Argentina (12:00 p.m. ET) on NBCSN and LIVE online

August 9: United States vs. Brazil (5:00 p.m. ET) on CNBC and LIVE online

August 10: United States vs. Fiji (12:30 p.m. ET) on USA and LIVE online

August 10: Quarterfinals

August 11: Semifinals

August 11: Gold Medal Match

It says the 5:00 PM contest is going to be aired on CNBC.

EDIT: My post looks useless now. Too late, I guess. You know you can use this tool called "Google" to find out these things, yes?

i just love this picture



two hours to the game (just after joint practice)

Let's go Ebner! With the way the NYJFL is going, maybe I'll get hooked! Every year the NFL gets less appealing to me. I think it has something to do with that commish guy.

It's Ebner time!

7-0 Argentina at the half, Ebner on the sideline so far.

Yeah sucks that Ebner's on the sideline, but they have another game in a few hours, right? So maybe he'll start in that.

I don't know much about Rugby but Argentina seems to be kicking our ass.

 

[fnordcircle]

Looked like a bad ruling to me too on that try. Ebner's on the field!

 

[Koma]

12-0 now, Ebner in.

I don't know much about Rugby but Argentina seems to be kicking our ass.

Argentina isn't one of the world's best, but they have a lot of Rugby experience.

7 on 5, c'mon guys!

 

[fnordcircle]

NICE! 12-12, let's get this

 

[Koma]

14-12 US. Huge break with 2 yellow cards on Argentina.

 

[fnordcircle]

****. Again, I don't know a lot, but that looked awful. Guy was all by himself.

 

[Fixit]

d%#*!@t!

 

[fnordcircle]

DAMNIT

 

[Koma]

17-14 Argentina scores at the end.
