Rugby football is a surprisingly popular game in Boston given it's not one of our professional national leagues (it's considered semi-professional). In case you're totally new to Rugby, there are two different "flavors" of the game: Rugby Union and Rugby League, and most rugby fans swear allegiance to one over the other.
Boston has two successful teams in the premier division of the USA Rugby Union. Our Rugby Union teams have longer roots in Boston than the current Rugby League teams, but Rugby League seems to be making a comeback...
Rugby League in the U.S. has undergone some big changes recently. Seven teams left the American National Rugby League and are forming a new league called the USA Rugby League. The Boston 13s were one of the teams to make the move, and a newly created Boston team called Oneida FC has joined the league as well (Oneida FC was actually a Boston team in the 1860s that played a very similar game, but the team folded in 1867).
Note: The locations for the Boston Rugby League teams' home games are still being finalized, but will be made public soon. Their season starts at the end of May and runs through the end of August when they play their Grand Final.
Our family hasn't made it to any Boston rugby games so we don't know what the crowds are like. Having been to Rugby games in Australia, the only thing I'd say is that they're fast-paced and, therefore, over a lot quicker than most American sports!
