      Because it's a superb sport! It combines the best parts of football and soccer and the players don't hide behind loads of padding; it is based on skill and smarts and the ultimate in teamwork. It is one of the few sports that needs athletes in all shapes and sizes on the same field at the same time. Rugby demands sleak thin fast runners and wider, shorter strong defensive players. Athletes of all stripes can achieve in rugby - not true for most sports. Further, once one gets a taste of it, one can never can go back before - it's too intoxicating, all encompassing and the ultimate in relying on others!
