Rugby in Massachusetts?

Off Topic
1

So, I just moved back to Mass and am starting to get really antsy for something else to do. I’ve established lifting as a staple in my life, but am looking for more (always hungry for more). I used to play ice hockey and could get back into that, but I want to try something a little more physical (hockey’s physical but there’s a lack of full-contact men’s leagues and I love that aspect of the game).

Does anyone here know of how/where I can start playing rugby up here? I just contacted one of the teams I found on the inter-webz, but always need a good contingency plan.

I live around the Cape Cod area but I’m open to travel a few hours to play, so…there’s that.

Let me know if you know …

This is not true at all. There are plenty of rugby teams around Boston. You can check out nerfu.org and see for yourself. Teams in Boston area: Boston Irish Wolfhounds, Boston RFC, Charles River RFC, Old Gold, South Shore RFC, and many more. All these teams compete all over New England.
