New Zealand Rugby: Findings of report into 'macho' culture are published

A hooligans game played by gentlemen or is it a gentlemen's game played by hooligans. Regardless of who's in the mix generally anytime there's an abundance of beer and drugs at large parties someone is bound to get out of control. Having played for over 40 years I can say for the most part rugby players are a well mannered lot off the pitch. In the clubhouse or on the pitch not so much.

Rugby is a way of life. New Zealand views their Rugby A list players lke we do our professional sports players. Sometimes, the parties can get a bit out of hand. See the movie North Dallas Fourty and you get a glimpse of the fun before men get older and their bodies are torn.
In 17 years, I never saw a female men's rugby player and I think I lost every fight I ever had on the field. I know, hard to believe. Right?
