Roosters v. West Tigers

This Sunday I attended a rugby league game to watch the Roosters verse the West Tigers which are both teams out of Sydney. What an experience! I though American fans were wild, but they do not nearly compare to the fans in my section at the Roosters game. Everyone around me was covered in the Rooster's red, white, and blue and it seemed like every group of people had a giant flag with them that they pulled out every time the Roosters scored. I absolutely loved how fast pace the game was and that the clock never stopped because there was non-stop excitement in the crowd. I also could not believe that the players do not wear padding because it was an extremely physical game. There were also a ton of young kids at the game that seemed to be just as into it as the adults. The Roosters ended up killing the West Tigers so I was happy to be surrounded by the enthusiastic Rooster fans. The stadium reminded me of football stadiums in the US with all of the food vendors and people drinking beer. I found it funny that the "bullshit" chant is universal and was surprised by how frequently it was yelled throughout the game. Overall, it was a great experience and I would love to go back to enjoy another game!
