Give Blood...

PLAY RUGBY!!!

This is my friend Craig after a hit to the head in the Union vs. Vassar College game this last weekend at Beast of the East. A little bit shaken up, but he turned out okay.

Rugby, as far as I know, is the only sport where you have a "Blood Sub". (Someone who will play in your place for about fifteen minutes... or until the blood stops running...if the ref spots blood during the game).

Crazy thing! I wouldn't do something where I'm guaranteed to get a wound.... Risky maybe.. but in Rugby like boxing and such, you have the hurt&;pain things lined up for ya.

Bad! ...

Well, I've always maintained the opinion that sports are dangerous, and here's another excellent proof of that :)

Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?

Great photo, you captured the pain expression perfectly

*winces at the sight of him* And I actually wanted to joint he girls' rugby team in high school... Glad your friend's team won, even though he endured quite a bit of pain from the looks of him. Great photo! :)
