Tacoma RFC vs. Eastside RFC

We (Tacoma - Yellow) lost the match despite playing relatively well. The referee was absolutely atrocious. I realize that sounds like scapegoating, and I will admit that Eastside played better rugby than we did, but if we hadn't spent so much energy squabbling about blown calls, we could've won.

Anyways, enjoy.

Heh... no. The funny hats are just scrum caps, and they are the only legal headgear permitted in rugby. Any player can wear them, although they are primarily worn by players in the forward pack.

Personally, I just use tape to guard my ears, and I even took the tape off during the 2nd half.

BTW I'm the guy with his hands on his knees in pic #74, and also the guy going into a tackle in pic #109. I'm a bunch of the others, but you can't always make me out.

There's a bunch of teams. We're rebuilding this season with a bunch of new players so we're pretty much the underdogs of the league.

Cool. He must be a back like a wing or a center. Who does he play for?

He's a wing. He's a sophomore at Cal State Long Beach. In High School, he played Soccer and ran Track, but decided to go out for Rugby instead in College.
