Catch a Rugby Game

This a fascinating game to watch because it’s unfamiliar to many Americans and not a sport you normally see on television.

When I lived in England, I got to catch a game in Gloucester and it was so much fun!

You see so much fun stuff like the scrum: a big huddle of people and a ball in the middle and the hooker tries to kick the ball back to his teammate for possession.  I thought the lineout was the coolest to watch; after a ball goes out of bounds the players form lines and players can lift their teammates up for control of the ball.

You can see the local adult league, Upper Valley Rugby Football Club, or Dartmouth rugby.
