I thought perhaps you worked here for a time or are an ex-pat, but apparently neither is so.

I was stationed in England for 3 years back in the late eighties. They had a lot of Australian tv shows and I saw my first footy and rugby games then. I was blown away at the raw athleticism and sheer brutal non stop action. Been hooked ever since. I have to pay for special sports cable channels to watch it now but it's totally worth it. I record every game and binge watch them on the weekends. This trip is a dream come true. Can't wait to get there.
