For duties "marriage" and to mingle with the British company (also a duty), I gotta go watch the game of rugby in a pub. I can think of a hundred things I'd rather do, including:
- cook coq au vin
- read "Darkness at Noon" by Koestler
- take a nap
- watch "Julie and Julia", which makes a pop the coq au vin
- banging my head against the wall
But no joke. Rugby is very interesting. It is an experiment in sociology and anthropology. England play against Wales. For anarchic instincts usually do cheer for the opposing team to Italy, but in this case force wales.
Update: I noticed that rugby fans are pretty calm. It should be noted however that as a good Italian, I tend to compare them to the Italian soccer hooligan. To use an English said: "Football is a Gentlemens' game played by thugs and rugby is a thug's game played by gentlemen."
Rugby is a sport distinctly homoerotic, in some cases the levels of Top Gun ... not that there's nothing wrong!
