I realised the US football game was a relatively static game with lots of set plays but the distance covered is amazingly small.
>I've seen a couple of Rugby matches. Highland High School here in Salt Lake City has the best youth rugby program in the US. Since 1975 they have won 18 national championships and have a record of 379 wins and 9 losses. Kids from other countries come here to attended Highland just so they can play on the Rugby team. You can read about them at

>They were featured in the movie Forever Strong, which was based on a true story.

>Their coach, Larry Gelwix, who started the team in the 1970s just retired.
