That must have been Upton's best try of the season.

Is that the seven man version? I really like the version NBC recently broadcasted.

No, the club sevens season just started. Plus, bus doesn't strike me as a sevens player, anyway...

Not exactly the ideal body type, and I'm using the summer to shut down this achilles for a few months

But I did track down the Kenyan King in open field :

Yeah, but what can do you do against him in a mile? My money says the Easter Bunny can beat you.

I'd be happy just finishing the mile.

He, and the other rugby playing Kenyans, aren't from that part of Kenya. Dude's a really good athlete who could probably have played WR at the collegiate level when he was a little younger.

And Bus could have still covered him in a soft zone and tore his arse up when the ball came his way.

Congrats to New Orleans on finsihing out an excellent season with the well deserved championship icing on the cake. Way to represent Louisiana rugby.

Oh, and judging by that picture I bet he passed the ball the next time he came near you. And from the earlier pic - I've been saying it for years...you can't stop da bus!

Congrats.

I was very happy to see my old club made the finals, but unfortunately they lost to Tampa in the 1st round.

Old Aztecs of San Diego has come a long way.

They were impressive. If they had a better goal kicker, they might have beaten Tampa.

BTW, now's my chance to be bitter...

I still think the South deserved three teams in the Sweet 16 this year.

Oh I agree. You guys were strong this year. But in this east/west system, even with South finishing #1 and #2, there will still be only two South D2 seeds in the Sweet 16 next year.

You think the South will force AOW back to D1? The bylaws call for 6 teams, and we currently have 4 (Gades, Boca, NOLA, Krewe).

I've expressed my opinion to our Board of Directors regarding that. They want to keep the second side in D3 at all costs, so if the South lets us have a D1 and D3 side, then sure.

I know the players want to be back in D1.
