Specifically Women's Rugby players. I played rugby into my 30s as a guy, and the most insane, wildest, damn nearly disturbingly hardcore people I've ever met were female rugby players. They're a whole other thing.

I'm loving that the woman's game is getting more recognition, they've been putting in the hard yards for years.

Woman's Sevens this year at the Olympics was epic, but woman's Rugby world cup finals in the 15s was also some of the best Rugby matches I have seen.

There are some real stars in these teams

Watch the mens as well. We have one story where an all black tore open his nut sack and kept playing.

Men's professional soccer is the Women's Rugby peewee league.
