Leinster Rugby Match!

So about a week ago our entire ISP group went to see a Leinster Rugby match. There are four provinces in Ireland: Leinster, Munster, Connacht, and Ulster. Each province has their own club team. Leinster has the "Leinster Lions". A few of their players were drafted for Irelands national team during the 6 nations. So needless to say, they have a very good team. It was such a fun game to attend. It's one thing to watch rugby on T.V. and it's a completely different thing to watch it live. You could literally hear the hits between the players on the field. We did get to see a pretty big fight break out as well. A Leinster player just started pounding this Glascow player during the scrum...it quickly turned into a legit fight with punches to the face. Both teams just collasped trying to break it up. No body got kicked out of the game but one player did get a yellow card and was sent off to the "sin bin." Here's some cool photos from the game...
