Rugby?

We don't see much of it on TV here but I've tried to watch and figure out just what was going on. As far as I can tell, the players are mostly those who've become brain damaged after playing other collision sports and are no longer capable of contributing to their teams. Happy The brain damage, however, didn't take away their warrior mentality. Kidding of course as we actually have a friend who's was inducted into the US Rugby Hall of Fame. He no longer plays but still does some coaching of both men's and women's college teams. He's a nice but very nutty guy.
