    All the games for Rugby World Cup have been aired on the German TV. Thats how I got in contact with Rugby at all. I ones switched to the TV station, saw this and thought "wow...interesting" and stayed!
    Over the many games I somehow learned the rules (the basics) and I have to admit it is a lot better than football (soccer for US).
    Im so happy that this was aired (Pro7 MAX).
    I loved how the players behaved (no arguing about referees, no whining on injuries, fairness everywhere). I really which this was the case in all sports.
    Im a fab on Rugby now! :-)

    I wasn't ready and I don't even feel ready now after 12 years. Looking back I wonder how I managed all that so well. Though I think using all external help (books, speaking to parents your age) is very helpful. Somehow however it is a natural thing to get used to it while being in the situation.

    Just finished "Qualityland: Visit Tomorrow, Today!" by Marc-Uwe Kling and now into "Qualityland v2.0" (not sure if already available in English yet). I highly recommend that. A very fresh, unique and funny story about the future and how things are about to go (probably).

    It's a very good adaption of the book in a 5 episodes TV series which was very inspiring for me as a kid. I saw it again some years ago and it was still holding up to my expectations. I really recommend it to anyone.
