Brothers Rugby Minimize
Welcome to Brothers Rugby.  This page contains information for the upcoming season.  Our schedule will be posted on this page when it is completed in Janurary.  It will also contain maps to the fields for the away games.  You will also a find an order form for the team rugby shorts and team socks.    
Print  
Conference and State Affiliation Minimize
Christian Brothers High School will field its first ever Rugby Football Club for the 2010 season.  We will compete in the West Tennessee High School Rugby Conference in the Tennessee High School Rugby Association.  There are a total of ten teams representing seven schools; Arlington High School, Brighton High School (two teams), CBHS (two teams), Germantown High School, Houston High School, and White Station High School (two teams) and Little Rock Arkansas.  There are two other Tennessee conferences sanctioned by the Tennessee High School Rugby Association; Middle Tennessee Rugby Conference (12 teams) and the Smokey Mountain Athletic Club (11 teams).

What is Needed to Play Minimize
Don't worry if you have never played the game, you will learn it pretty quickly.  If you have ever played "Kill the Guy with the Ball", you have the necessary experience to play.  It is very similar to that game.  Before you can play there are a few things that you must first do. 1) You have to be registered with USA Rugby (See the link below) 2) The only things you have to purchase are the shorts and socks (See the link below on the left).  3) Fill out the medical clearance form and return to Coach Blancett (See the link below on the left). That's it.  Your total cost is $50.00.  $20 to register with USA Rugby and $30 for the shorts and socks.  We will supply the game jerseys and practice jerseys.  Oh, you will need to supply your own cleats.  They must be soccer cleats.  Football cleats are illegal. They have a "toe cleat".   
Print  
The Basics Minimize
The rules of the game are pretty simple. There are no foward passes.  The only way to advance the ball is to run it or kick it.  There is no blocking; when you have the ball, it is you against 15.  When you are tackled, you must release (fumble) the ball.  Anyone can run the ball.  If the ball comes near you, pick it up and RUN!  When you cross the goal line, you must physically touch the ball to the ground for the score to count. (The term Touchdown in American football comes from this).  When you cross the goal line and touch the ball down, it is called a "try" and it is worth 5 points.  The kick after the try is scored is worth 2 points.  A pentaly kick is worth 3 points.  Any player can attempt a drop kick at any point during the game and it is also worth 3 points. 
Print  
The Players Minimize
There are 30 players on the field during a match, 15 for each team.  The "pack" or fowards are composed of the the big guys that "scrummage" for the ball.  There are 8 forwards; 2 props, 1 hooker, 2 flankers or wing forwards, 2 locks or second row, and 1 number 8.  The "Packs" job is to win the ball and get it out to the backs.  There are 7 backs; scrum half, fly half, inside center, outside center, weakside wing, strongside wing and full back.

         Registration for USA Rugby Minimize
All CBHS players must hold a valid USA Rugby Card.  In order to register with USA Rugby  go to https://membership.usarugby.org/IndividualDefault.aspx to register.  The team name is Brothers Rugby.  Once you have registered your name will appear on the roster.

Schedule Minimize
The schedule will be completed in January.  As soon as it is completed it will be posted here.  Since we will field two complete teams, we plan to hold an inter-squad game on February 13th.  We do know that the date of the first game will be February 20th.  The Conference tournament will be May 1st followed by the State Tournament, May 8th in Nashville. 
Print  
Practice Schedule Minimize
Off season practice will begin the last week of October, two days a week most likely Mondays and Wednesdays after school, 3:30 to 4:45 - 5:00.  Players not involved in a fall sport (Football, Golf, Cross Country or Bowling) or a winter sport (Swimming, Wrestling, Ice Hockey, or Basketball) will be required to attend.  Regular season practice will begin when we return to school from Christmas Break.  Yes, I know, it will be cold.  This is Rugby, dress accordingly. No Whining will be allowed.
