A video clip has surfaced of a conversation between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and the subject was not golf-related. No, it was a Japan Skins conversation between the duo on the Rugby World Cup that winds-up this weekend with England tackling South Africa. It was much like explaining to any American, the in’s and out’s of cricket but on this occasion it was Tiger asking the questions and Rory providing the answers … well trying to supply the answers as they walked the Accordia ...
