1 The beautiful game How can football be called beautiful when players fall over every five paces? Now, a rolling maul, when a phalanx of eight men drives the ball 30 yards, that is real beauty.

2 Get in shape You will be in incredible physical shape. Once a lot of people quit playing competitive sports in high school or college they lose the urge to work out and therefore start to gain weight. The game itself is so much fun (along with so many other things) that you will have no problem doing what it takes to be able to physically play for years to come.

3 Anyone can play It does not matter if you're old or young, fat or skinny, muscle-bound or a stick figure. The bond that forms between not only teammates, but rugby players in general is one that can't be compared to anything else.

4 Every player can run with the ball This is not football. In Rugby every player on the pitch can run with the ball to advance the position.

5 A world-wide community You can travel the world and walk into any rugby club and you will be welcomed. There is no other sport that shares the comraderie of rugby.
