One thing that did surprise me greatly was to learn that Philadelphia actually has a deep rugby culture. I even joined a local club in Conshohocken and have played a game for them. It is certainly a minority sport in America, but there are guys who have been playing rugby for well over a decade, through high school, then college and then for a club side.
