1.One of the reasons why we picked rugby is that we both are very keen on sports and when we discussed about what subject to pick, we both instantly agreed that it has to do with sports.
When we went through a list of popular sports in Ireland on the Internet, We found some videos of Rugby. We were both amazed, Rugby is a very rough sport with alot of physical contact.
The players were wearing little to no safety gear, which made it even more astonishing for us. Another reason is that the gameplay is heavily based on teamwork. Rugby is a team sport, alone, you would never make it to the goal of your opponents, only with your teams help. Of course alot of sports are based upon teamwork, but if you see when the players perform a "Maul", everyone will understand why Rugby captivated us, since we both enjoy sports that are focused on teamwork.

2. We are going to begin with the history of Rugby, where we will talk about the early history of Rugby (<-- Repetitive), how Rugby was born. Then we will write/speak about how rugby came to Ireland, who played it in the early years , what the Irish thought about Rugby at the beginning and how popular it is presently. After that, we are going to talk about the rules and how to play it, we are also going to show some videos of the gameplay to give them an idea of how a rugby match is played. At the end, we will talk a bit about the IRFU, the Irish Rugby Football Union.

3. These are the questions we are trying to solve:

1. What is the history of Rugby?
2. How did Rugby come to Ireland?
3. What is the image of Rugby in Ireland?
4. How do you play Rugby?
5. What is the IRFU?

4. One of our main objectives is to impart our knowledge about rugby in Ireland in a coherent way (<-- Don't think that makes sense), but still very detailed. At the same time we are trying to make this as interesting as possible, with the use of media and some fun facts. We want to make this lecture special, so that they don't forget about it as soon as they go home.

5. Our primary source of information will be the Internet, since the topic is very specific, it would take alot of time to find books related to Rugby in Ireland.

For now, these are our temporary sources. During our investigation we may search for additional resources.

6. In order to make this lecture special, we are going to try to use media, like a PC with Powerpoint, but we are paying attention to the fact that this might be too distracting and the people are going to concentrate only on what the computer delivers. Therefore we will try to keep the information with Powerpoint "short and sweet", so that they can understand what we're telling them, while we will try and verbally inform them of the most important facts. (There's never really a good time to use 'oral'.).


Loves and hugs (<-- Not a good idea to put this in an essay )

... won't be here but I want to ask you guys for a favour.

You see, I have to hand in something and I want someone, who is going to be the bad assest mothefucker in the world to correct the grammar and vocabulary and whatnot or even replace sentences with posh english, so that it sounds like my feces are talking RP. Please, that would be really nice, this thing is very important to me, even if you only correct bits of it, this would even make me happy.

For now, these are our temporary sources. Throughout the course of our investigation, further sources will most likely be added.

6. In order to make this lecture special, we are going to try to use media, for example a PC with Powerpoint, but we are aware of the fact that this may distract our audience from the content of the presentation as they become distracted by animations and other graphics related features of the presentation. Therefore we will try to keep the information with Powerpoint "short and sweet", so that they can understand our train of thought, while the most important things are going to be orally transmitted.

Do NOT capitalise rugby - Rugby is a place, rugby is a game.

Do not randomly capitalise rugby, plenty of situations where it should be, if you're talking about almost any of the governing bodies like the IRU it probably should be
