Guys.. I stumbled across this by accident. I'm sure all you Italians know of it... but wow! Rugby combined with UFC fighting! It is awesome. My understanding of the sport is that it was rival towns who would challenge each other in this 'game'. I think it happens once every year in a kind of festival. Competitors/teams dress in roman gladiator style garb . . Shirtless .. and between trying to land the ball in the opposite teams nets - there is a shit load of fighting all over the stadium!
Check it out if you love fit guys playing rugby and beating crap out of one another! ! Grrrrr!!!! 😉
