Men’s rugby gives students a unique outlet for contact sport and camaraderie

There are many things rugby looks like, but it never fully fits a description.

Rugby players run around (mostly) unprotected like soccer players, yet they carry an egg-shaped ball to an endzone as if they were playing football. Sometimes they punt it, but the clock rarely stops. All in all, there is anarchy on the pitch, and this is the perfect escape for the Idaho men’s rugby team.

“It’s a mix between a lot of different sports, but the best way to describe it is as organized chaos,” said Bob Sproull, head coach for the men’s team.
