　　Todd: And you're really into rugby!

　　Kevin: Yeah, I love rugby. Um, in Wales everybody plays rugby, in primary school, in juniorhigh school we play rugby. When I was in high school everybody in my high school had to play rugby. All the boys had to play rugby. And it's our national sport.

　　Todd: OK. Uh, do you still play now?

　　Kevin: Ah, I played about five years ago. I played in Japan in Kobe. The club was called Kobe Regata club.

　　Todd: OK.

　　Kevin: And they were very strong. Yeah, but in this country you play on sand, but in Wales you play on grass. It's a lot easier to play rugby in Wales.

　　Todd: Um, What's the best thing about rugby?

　　Kevin: Violence. Ah, it's very good because you can run and you can hit somebody and you don't go to jail for doing it so...it's the same as if you've been to America, the same as American football. Uh, it's very strong and when you practice you become stronger. You're body becomes stronger and it's just fun to play rugby.

　　Kevin: I've broken my nose, I've had about ten stitches in my bottom lip. Ah, I've broken a finger. That's not too bad. Many of my friends have broken their legs and knees... and problems but not too bad for me.

　　Todd: OK. Great. Thanks a lot Kevin.

　　Kevin: Thank you.
