Olympics 2024

My brother-in-law, Richard, came over Monday night.  His grandson plays rugby in high school.  Richard played rugby in his youth in Victoria.  We watched the game when Canada played France in the rugby 7's.  Richard explained the rules to us.  Rugby 7's is two seven minute halves with seven players on each team.  It's fast and exciting.  We've watched the subsequent games and I loved it! 

Yesterday the Canadian Women's team won a silver medal in the Olympics!  Good for them and so much fun to watch.  I'll be following rugby from now on.

Way to go girls!
