[QUOTE="dasNdanger, post: 690128, member: 61962"] Thanks again. And again. :) Back when I first starting watching the game 14+ years ago (and without ANYone to discuss it with, so relying solely on what commentators, et al, said), the fall and spring tests were sometimes referred to as 'friendlies'. This may have been a term American announcers used since rugby was aired on a 'soccer' channel. I always thought that a friendly meant the game had no impact on rankings (like an exhibition match), so over the years that erroneous idea stuck with me, and I just could never figure out what games actually had a bearing on rankings. I do appreciate the clarification! No matter what anyone says, I think this place is the best! :) das [/QUOTE]
