Lebanon has a national rugby team?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

fuck fuck fuck.... I NEVER KNEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!

I rugby!!!!
I'm on the verge of starting to play it here in Ireland, but i have to say:
LEBANON?! Is that the same lebanon that had this endless war?!

This is GREAT! I really should admit: this is astounding! Apparently they
beat Japan and the US in the World Cup qualifiers 2003 and so far this year
they've beaten Morocco and Serbia as well as Italy to win the
Mediterranean Cup (no clue wtf that is... google it). They're playing Ireland
on Friday night over in England - Go Lebs!!!!! I never supported Ireland -
I'm with the French all the way when it comes to rubgy... the french are
kickarse!!!! anyway, now seriously, Lebanon?! Any rugby fans in here by
the way?

oh by the way, they're nicknamed The Cedars....
Sweeeet....

Neeko L Irish!!!!!

Haha ya i know a guy who is on the team!
I've known many guys who used to practice this sport. We had a university team back in college days..

Go lebanese, we kick ass at everything we do

yea but this is not like football or basketball.... or ... ping pong....
anyone can do those..... my 37-year-old-nicotine-loving-uncle plays
football (although that's accompanied by an unpleasant display of
multicolour flem visual action) but it's something else....

it's different, it's harder, more challenging and a lot more discpline and
physique is required. I've never watched it properly until about 2 months
ago when the world cup started, but i did watch glimpes of it in the Six
Nations Cup in February (when France smashed Ireland in the middle of
Croke Park in Dublin - teeeehhhhhheeeeeeeeee!!!!) and I really saw what
the game is about and how great it is!! (plus, there's so much history in it -
it's much older than football)

so yea.. where were we?

yea, Neeeeeeeeko L Irish!!!!

The lebanese team once had a friendly match with the french guys here in Tripoli (4 yrs ago? and i still remember well when the electricity went off..TWICE)... The french won, but it was a gr8 match indeed, as i remember..
However, most of the lebanese team players used to live in Australia.. I have no idea abt what the team is doing nowadays.

Egypt has a rugby team... I wonder what they're called...
The Fouls perhaps?

You're confusing stuff here i think.
Japan and US were beaten by our Rugby XV team (the rugby you just saw on the World Cup), whereas in the MedCup, it was Rugby XIII or XI i don't remember well... We also beat France in the MedCup, but usually Rugby XIII or XI of big rugby nations (like France) aren't pro.

But yeah, the Lebanese rugby scene, altho small, exists! We have 2 clubs and about 3 college teams.

I don't know if we have Rugby 7's. To my knowledge, we don't!

my friend plays in that team .. he's always in the hospital for injuries and broken bones (every single bone is broken) what a sissy!!

Well we play the rugby league that is different from the rugby union that is more popular around the world...

Lebanon just beat Wales 56-20, after being down 10-0 after 10min and being down 16-10 at half time!! Great second half from the lebanese.
They now face Samoa in their final qualifying match next wednesday. If they win, they qualify to the Rugby League WORLD CUP 2008!!!!!

Are Samoa good? Who's the favorite??
