I shot some high school Rugby for work – call me a dumb American, but I could not for the life of me figure out what the hell was going on ! What a crazy brutal sport. Of course I took into account that the American High Schools may not play the purest form of Rugby – there were some Brits watching who were laughing their heads off.
And of course I am not one who follows sport much.
