England France Rugby: Initiation Rite Gets Rugby Players Running Around Town Naked
This morning, I heard on the radio that the bus that was dring the French Rugby Team to the its practice fiels was caught in a massive traffic jam. Should our Dieux du Stade walked instead of taking a bus?
This reminded me of a video of a respectable English rugby club (Lincoln RUFC, established in 1882) where new players had to go through a funny initiation rite: they had to undress, get out of the bus, and run back to the club house. To make it more fun, they obviously has to do it through town.
Notice how fast the first one is going. This is a guy you want to see on a field.
