Indian media never bothers about Rugby.It takes a Pakistani newspaper for people like me to learn that India has a Rugby team too. Way to go DAWN. Ethical journalism needs to be learned from you.

The way Pakistan team appears to be training, they will definitely beat India where Cricket (especially IPL ) is killing all other sports.

Dear Ahmed, it would have been better, had you learned the basics of English right. Nowhere have I mentioned anything against this interesting news item. I was infact, patting DAWN on its back for carrying such an interesting piece of info which media in my motherland never bothers to publish. Any ways, you are free to have your own view of things as in Bharat (India) we believe in freedom of expression.
