Rugby in Australia is bigger than football in America during the 1980's. Rugby is so big out here they have taken the sport and then created a second identical game with slightly different rules just so the Aussies can walk around playing the original game and then the second game nonstop... literally 24/7 year round. Ben got asked by some YSA guys from church if he wanted to go see the finally game for a rugby tournament and he jumped at the chance.
The ANZ (a bank out here) stadium at Sydney Olympic park. Built for the 2000 Sydney Olympic games and the largest Olympic stadium ever built holding 110,000+ people.
Before he left for the game he spent 30 minutes reading about Rugby on Wiki so he would know what people were talking about/ cheering about.
Local team colors were blue, it was a three game series and the best two out of three took the national championship. This was game three and we lost the finally game :-( Sydney has a good team, but I guess not good enough!
I have never even been to a rugby game so Ben has now done something more Australian than ME!

Don't worry Eisha...you are not the only one who is 28 with three kids. Move to Utah. It is pretty normal here! :)
cool! Brady and I went to a game in London with the Merton guys. I had no idea what was going on so Jodi and I just talked the whole time.
