NOTE FROM JEFF:

In 1972, the Uruguayan rugby team crashed in the
Andes mountains, and had to eat each other to
survive. Or maybe cannibalism is just a natural
result of playing such a bloodthirsty sport?

The Top 7 Signs Your
School’s Rugby Team Are Cannibals

7> Most teams dump Gatorade on their coach; they’re dumping what
appears to be some sort of marinade.

6> They refer to uniforms as “garnish.”

5> Tickets to their matches cost “an arm and a leg.” Literally.

4> You just saw an arm fly out of the scrum.

3> When one of the members tells you that the balls are made of
pigskin, he uses finger-quotes and winks conspiratorially.

2> The coach’s line-up card looks suspiciously like a menu.

and the Number 1 Sign Your School’s Rugby Team Are Cannibals…

1> The last opponent who said “You want a piece of me?” is now
wearing a prosthesis.
