Are you a Pats fan that's sad the season is over and wants to fill that weekend void? A Sox fan waiting for the season to start? Your Major League Rugby team, the New England Free Jacks, began their season last week.
I personally have never played the game and it seemed too complicated to try to learn, but the second I gave it a chance the sport sucked me in and now I can't get enough of it. The more you learn, the better it gets. I know there are more like me out there, so I've made it my goal to spread the word and build support for our young team.
If you've ever been remotely curious about the sport of rugby and have been too afraid to ask about the rules like I was, consider this thread a safe space to ask whatever questions you might have. There aren't any stupid questions, so fire away!

I don't know the first thing about rugby but I went to a game last year because I live near the stadium and kept seeing signs for it everywhere, so I thought why not. I ended up having a great time! Awesome atmosphere and their mascot is ADORABLE. Overall the experience reminded me of Lowell Spinners games back in the day (RIP)
I will definitely go back again this season once the weather gets warmer!
