The madness of the scrums and hand-offs of Rugby World Cup 2015 is now here on England. It only seemed recently that the All Blacks hoisted the trophy as being the eventual winners of the 2011 WC.
Rugby stands out from amongst other sports. Given its intensity, toughness and sheer physicality of its top athletes, the word 'flop' is banned here. Broken bones, cuts, shattered teeth, nasty scrums won't stop these men (and women!) of power, speed and might.
More than just the game itself, my favourite Rugby World Cup moment is the All Blacks' Haka. Haka is their traditional ancestral war cry that they perform before their matches.
Seeing the All Blacks' Haka from tv or from afar send you the chills and shivers, what more for the opposing team and for the All Blacks themselves. Such a fantastic way to truly and proudly represent one's tradition and at the same time, sums up the beauty and toughness of the Rugby World Cup.

If you want to score and 'try' for yourself, there's a chance to see the All Blacks and other nation teams' games live. The giants Currys and Toshiba are hosting a competition to win a pair of Quarter-final tickets on October 18. Just follow the link here, and go for a good tackle!
