And if you are invited to go to the party following the match...GO NOONE PARTYS LIKE RUGBY PLAYERS DO!!! Just don't take your Leica as it will likely get doused with beer.

Also the rugby guys (and girls, we had a girl rugby team at MTSU also) love to have their photos taken as no one hardly ever does it. Give them a few prints and they will likely make you one of the team. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
