Friday: Rugby
[During the Sydney City Roosters' critical rugby match against Brisbane at Sydney Football Stadium on Friday night], San Diego Chargers backup safety Lloyd Lee turned to a Sydney sportswriter and uttered words that were music to Ribs's ears: "[The contact in rugby is] incredible. It's really exciting to watch, but I'm surprised more people don't get hurt and get carried off in stretchers. To be getting tackled [without pads] by three guys and then get up to be tackled again, it's amazing. You'd have to have a couple of screws loose."
