I played in one club rugby game at Union College in Schenectady, NY. A friend of mine went there and his fraternity was in the club league.
I played HS football but I was completely unprepared (I would offer ill-informed) on how to engage other players, both tackling and being tackled.
There is a lot of technique involved that I did not get the memo on.
I didn't get hurt but had a wicked headache due to said poor technique.
The social was indeed fantastic. I learned a lot of new songs
