Might have been mentioned before, but Sport Villa will have it's customary crowd of retrabates from 5.45am onwards.... mostly Canuks, but the odd yank. There's a pool available in U Turn Bar aswell - 10k to the winner

That has to have been one of the best Superbowls ever, what an exciting finish, right down to the wire.

Well done the Giants, gotta say, I think that was an aggressive/defensive win for them. Totally awesome display by the defense.

Also well done to the Patriots, what a season, nothing to be ashamed of.

Hell of a game, a classic, one of the best super bowls ever!

totally worth getting up at 5 a.m. to watch! Not a Giants fan but always fun to root for the underdog!!

I'm more of a Pats fan than the Giants, but thought the game great!

Heard it was great

Would love to follow but don't know the rules, lingo,tactics etc

Anywhere I can get them?

Talked with HHS the other night and he said the same about cricket

Been watching for some 30 odd years, definately worth getting into. Seems most sports fans (here) seem to slam it for the padded uniforms. Don't think most understand the sheer speed at which a very large 6'5" 300lb. very scary guy is running at you full speed trying to kill you! Yes many rules, but quite basic and understandable. The stats are also fun to get into. You all should give it a try.

By the way Richard anytime you want to get together, next season of coarse, we'd love to teach you the game!

Thanks Sally

Played it once and broke my leg. My fault completely

The only guy who knew the rules was the ref

In those days I played real rugby without padding and on the field for 80 minutes and no subs and breaks

Love to meet up but not sure of the flight times to Mars
