Mud fight breaks out into a rugby scrimmage

The University of Illinois women's rugby team faced off against the University of Illinois women's rugby team this past Sunday. I can't remember the score, but I'm pretty certain Illinois won the match. Our horde of rookies (nearly as many as vets) seemed happy to finally understand what we had been yelling at them for a month and a half. The vets seemed happy to throw mud at their coaches and captain. And everybody seemed happy to play rugby without getting little black rubber pebbles in our shoes. We'll still be in Irwin until after break, but this taste of rugby outdoors will hopefully keep us going until then. Tune in next week as your favorite collegiate mud wrestling/rugby team faces off against the St. Louis Sabres for our first game of the season.
