As an ex-rugby playerI played with lots (and I MEAN lots) of doctors, solicitors (they always got a shoeing)scientists etc. Probably something to do with Rugby being associated with the grammar schools.
There was a description of Rugby as "A ruffian's game played by gentlemen". I believe it to be true, some of the fights on the pitch were epic but were all forgotten once the bar was open! I have a great friend I played against once, he broke my nose, I bit a lump of his ear off (chewed it and spat it at the ref, got sent off! Some people eh?"). We still drink together occasionally, no hard feelings.
