The Rugby World Cup is held every 4 years; here's 4 minutes of highlights from the 2015 final. For those more used to American Football, 2 main differences: all your passes must be to a man behind you, and to score a try (ie, a touchdown), you actually have to touch the ball onto the ground!

Far and away the biggest rugby team on the planet. A niche sport for some, depending on where you live, but a perfectly acceptable question. A bit of research on how they gained the "All Blacks" moniker might enlighten you a bit.

I'll kick myself in the morning for agreeing with Kalbahamut, but when he's correct, you've got to give hi his due. English food tastes horrible

to those who are used to some spice/seasoning in their food. It seems

the only spice used in English cuisine is salt (If you can call that a spice and not a preservative).

Level 46
Dec 6, 2017
I personally think that there are two contradicting ideas of how to make good food. One way is to dump seasonings (not only spices, I mean, sauces, salt, sugar, etc) to create blended flavours. Another way is to season as least as possible and let the natural tastes of ingredients mix together. Those who familiar with seasonings will say food from the latter is bland, and those who familiar with natural tastes will say food from the former is overseasoned or burning (in case of spices). I embrace both ways, personally.
+1
Level 36
Feb 19, 2018
To each his own. It's a matter of taste/culture. I am used to highly spiced food (not sauces) which is broiled, baked or sauteed (frying does not enhance the taste of food at all). Therefore, I find British food bland and boring.

Frying does indeed enhance the taste of food substantially, speaking from experience (and knowledge of chemistry).

Level 74
May 18, 2018
English food might not be particularly sophisticated, but it is inaccurate to say that it is all bland. English mustard, horse radish sauce or proper pickled onions will bring tears to your eyes. Then there's Worcestershire sauce, real cheddar cheese (not the mass-produced candle-wax often sold as cheddar), stilton - and don't forget our love of curry (remember that the English don't love spices because we went to India - we went to India because we loved spices).
