Rugger Blog gives you the latest world rugby news & opinion from an American point of view.

Kill boredom. Plus I really enjoy rugby.
What do you blog the most about?
In the past I've focused on such sports as Mixed Martial Arts & Wrestling and from time to time, I still contribute to those style of blogs. I've also done some political blogging but that has taken a back seat because I'm currently running for political office.

What kind of blogs make you angry?
Conservative political blogs.

Stumblewhat?

2. [404 Check: was link to http:/ / MMAHQ. com, anchor: Mixed Martial Arts blog] - This is a popular Mixed Martial Arts blog that I contribute to from time to time. Always a great read and seems to attract very smart fight fans.
3. Third Party Watch - As a person who belongs to a Third Party in the USA (Libertarian Party), I enjoy the fair coverage this blog brings.
4. South African Rugby - My wife is South African, so I've begun following South African Rugby on a regular basis. Since the U.S. doesn't have a "professional league" per say, I've found myself supporting South African clubs and this blog is a great source for all things South African Rugby.
