Bath Rugby:

     So tonight I went to my first ever Rugby game! After a pint in the Huntsman pub, that our professor bought for us, we walked over to the stadium to see the Bath Rugby team play the London Wasps. The reason it was free was because it was the B teams playing each other so they were the rookies, the injured and the old players who practicing for their chance to move up to the A team.
      Wow, I've never seen such a violent game before! OMG!!! Guys were tackling each other like them hitting 300 pounds of muscle wouldn't hurt. Most guys even ran into the tackles and I thought it was INSANE to witness. I kept asking Andrew Butterworth (our professor) if the players would get hurt from all of the "scrumming" and hitting and he told me that they were really tough and so only one or two guys would get taken out because of head injuries...per game!
     So I fully enjoyed the Rugby culture, the game was thrilling even though it was very complicated to watch and the fans seemed to be into it. And I have come to the conclusion that Rugby is actually one on the toughest sports out there because there are no pads or helmets and people kill each other all the same.

Go Bath Rugby! So fierce...
