This one is a short miniseries that I watched over the last week or so. The series, All or nothing follows sports teams mostly from what I understand. This one happened to be the New Zealand All Blacks and for those who do not know is a Rugby team. It’s not just anyone, from what I understand is like the winningest Rugby team in history. Some of you might wonder why I would watch this; I am a guy from middle America where rugby is not very popular. Well, when I was stationed overseas in the Marine Corps, I had the chance to see a rugby match, or should I say a Test? Though I had no idea what they were doing it was exciting, violent and brutal. The action was almost nonstop, and the crowd was very much into the game. The issue here in America is you can almost never find it to watch. I have heard of the All Blacks before but didn’t know they were the winningest team in history. I decided to look and learn a little about them. The show follows the team and players for the 2017 season. Other than the fact of trying to keep up with the terms they use, it was interesting and educational for me. Like a Try is scoring a 5-point play kind of like a touchdown in American football that is a 6-point score. I really wish we had televised matches here in America. I would certainly watch. Sadly, this show is only on Amazon Prime, but if you have access, I would say take a look if you have any interest.

I've never watched a rugby match or heard of the All Blacks team before reading your post.

See not very popular in the USA. Do you like American football? If you do maybe you might like it. If not I would say odds, are you would not like rugby.

@Dena91 well one reason I do not like American football, and more is there is way too much stoppage. Just get the game going and over with. With rugby it is pretty much none stop action, and the clock keeps going on and did I mention the players don't cry every time the other team gets near them.
