Last weekend I went on the class trip to another professional rugby game. Having already attended the Rooster v Rabbitoh game in the beginning of the semester I knew pretty much what to expect in terms of the crowds and the lack of security. There were fewer people at this game than the one I went to at Sydney Football Stadium, but that is probably because it was opening day for the Roosters. Going into this game I was much more excited because I now understand the rules of rugby, or at least better than I initially did. Being at the Rabbitohs home field, I had to support them. I also loved their mascot, and was somewhat disappointed that the Tigers did not have one.
After snapping a picture with the rabbit, I quickly shifted my attention back to the actual game at hand. It was shocking to me that I could actually follow the game and even explain some of the rules and point values for tries, goals, and field-goals to my fellow classmates. I am glad I had the opportunity to go to two professional rugby games because I was able to actually experience how much I have learned about Australian Sports.
