The old saying goes, "Soccer is a gentleman's game played by ruffians, and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen." Catch a game and see for yourself.

This rough and tumble game starts off with players in a scrum, pushing against each other for possession of the ball. Exciting to watch!

• Played most weekends from October through April at various locations on the island
• The annual World Rugby Classic features former top players competing in 11 international matches
