[Sportsandrec] Rugby?

Hi List members, Ken Here.  First of all, love the newsletter  Lisamaria.  
I'm putting feelers out about maybe starting a beep baseball  team here in 
NJ and will let all of you know.  An article in today's sports  section in 
USA Today gave me this idea.  On Saturday at 4:00 Eastern time  ESPN will for 
the first time televise a Rugby match between the United States  and Canada 
and if the US team wins the series, they qualify for the world cup in  2011. 
 This is the first time a Rugby match will be televised live.   Does anyone 
know of any way the sport has been adapted for the blind?  I  think it's a 
great game and have heard matches broadcast on BBC world service  from the 
domestic radio 5 live.  It's fast like soccer, and has the hard  hits like 
Football, and it's nonstop action with two 40 minute halves and no  time outs. 
 Ken.
 
I pledge to  participate actively in the efforts of the national federation 
of the blind To  achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; 
to support the  policies and programs of the federation; and abide by its  
constitution.
