rugby in hs

[bellnier]

It's not hugely popular here in the States at the high school level, but there is enough interest to sustain a half-dozen or so teams within a 30 mile radius of us (my daughters team has 20 or so girls from her high school plus 7 girls from a school 25 miles away). Unfortunately, there are no local shops that sell rugby boots, etc. so most of the kids wear soccer cleats. Unis are purchased online from vendors that custom embroider school/club names, etc. onto quality shirts made in NZ and other places overseas. All-in-all, its a blast to see the gals out there playing tough...they're all good kids that wear their bruises proudly!
