"On a crisp fall day in 1823 William Webb Ellis picked up a football in his hands and ran with it. To this day, backs throughout the world hail this moment as the birth of rugby. Forwards, however, know that the game was not really invented until 1.5 seconds later, when Roland Dimrumple drove a squealing Mr. Ellis' face into the turf, kicked him in the solar plexus and told him to "keep his sodding hands off the ball"."

The RUGBY CLUB (the Moosemen) ...is looking for athletic men willing to donate a few hours per week to learning the exciting sport of rugby. No experience is necessary. The first few weeks of practice are for learning basic fundamentals of the game. Following this period, practices will be geared toward preparation for matches, which are held on weekends.
