The All Blacks are "The Iowa Hawkeyes" of Rugby, only they are actually good.

GREAT, now I am not allowed to like the All Blacks! Thanks for telling me this information!

Also, there are two different types of rugby - Rugby Union (the more popular form) and Rugby League. I actually like the Rugby League set of rules better (seems faster paced to me, and also easier to understand). I assume the ISU club team plays Rugby Union?

The State of Origin series that BryceC was talking about is Rugby League - that is indeed some intense stuff!

I was at a boyscout campout in South Africa with my son. As they go to an international school, there were parents there from all over the world. A guy from Australia was telling us there are 4 types football/rugby. He claimed Australia would be better at Rugby internationally but all the good players are playing the other types. I responded, "Have you ever heard of the NFL?"
