a good celtic team? MUNSTER!
Getting a team started... are you in the US? go through usarugby.org and see if there is already a team in your area... chances are there already is one and they'd LOVE to have another rugger.
To start a team - first you need 15 players at least, you need equipment (balls, boots, flags, post pads, rucking pads, and some cones can help) you need access to a pitch you can play on, and you need to file for a 501(c)(3) non-profit status. In you'd need to join your local union in order to get scheduled for games, and the standard is that when you host a game - you pay for the refs and provide a post-match party for the travelling team - so this requires some finances too.
I'd say - join your closest team first, and if you want to start a team closer to home for you... start recruiting locals to join you - and your brother team would probably be glad to help gete you started - you can at least learn the rules, learn your way around the politics of the organization - and then get a team started when you have enough bodies.
Does anyone know any sites that play live stream Super 14 rugby?
Unfortunately, rugby union does not have 'rules', it has 'laws' and 'regulations'. You can see the 'laws' at this web site.http://www.irb.com/en/laws+and+regulatio...
From this page, you can select to see all the laws, in one big document. The size of this document is around 12.83MB. Therefore, if you are using dial-up you may not be able to see it. It is a pdf document, and available here

Alternatively, you may want to select just one law to view at a time. The web page does not say what law is what, so I have provided a list below.

As to the regulations, you can get see them from this page
http://www.irb.com/en/laws+and+regulatio...
They do provide a list of what is what, so I will not repeat it here.
I would go to the American Rugby site to see about getting a club near you. They are available here
http://www.usarugby.org/
You could try the "Championships", "Membership", and "Playing the Game" menus in the banner on the page.
In Rugby Union where does the name for the playing position of fly-half originate from?
Suport Munster because they won the highest level of European rugby last year, the Heineken Cup.Does anyone know North Pirates rugby club?
If you are in the US, USA Rugby will help you establish a team.http://www.usarugby.org/
Otherwise, you should look up your country's Rugby Union, I'm sure they will be of assistance as well.
Good luck.
