Live! Rugby! Online!

I am a happy, happy Pink: USA Rugby is broadcasting the collegiate women's D1 championships LIVE online!!

At first the page just flat-out wouldn't load. I was stuck g-chatting with everyone else who was (unsuccessfully) trying to get it to work, and I ended up just refreshing the USA Rugby homepage to get the scores of the Brown/Penn State game.

But then, about twenty minutes from the end, it started working! And oh man, but I just about had a complete scrumgasm. This is my division of rugby (even if these teams do honestly play on a different level than AU does). And it was pretty exciting to watch PSU beat the pants off of someone that wasn't us.

Right now it's half-time in the Stanford/Navy game. I was rooting for a Navy/PSU final (wouldn't it be cool if PRU D1 was AU, UMD, and the two best teams in the nation?) and for awhile, it looked possible - Navy spent a considerable portion of the first 30 minutes in Stanford's 22, but Stanford's defense was pretty impenetrable, and Navy finally took a 3 point kick off of a penalty.

However, in the end of the half Stanford scored not one, but two tries... here's hoping the next 40 minutes will go Navy's way!
