I played it in college - U of M. I was a second rower and sometimes wing. It is great fun. exhausting but fun. Broke a guy's leg, another's nose, another's arm and caused two concussions; in return, I had about 2 or 3 black eyes myself. All legal hits - I wasn't TRYING to injure anybody - but if you don't play harder than the other guy, you're the one with the broken bones.
It was great fun.
After one Navy UM game, (and my memory may be a bit faded) I think about 80 guys went through 10 kegs in under 2 hours. I am not that's right, but I just know we went through an insane amount of beer in a very short time.
RUGBY PLAYERS EAT THEIR DEAD!
