Some of my friends here play on the local rugby team, which was undefeated this season. In a close match against Stuttgart, Geza reaches for the ball during a lineout.



Here is another lineout shot taken during a match against Rotweil.



I also trained with the rugby team for about a month. About two thirds of the guys on the team are actually from France. Karlsruhe is about 20 km from the border with France. I have also been introduced to some hardcore rugby culture here (eating, drinking, singing, drinking, ...)! Sometimes there is big glass boot, which is passed around (filled with beer of course). The second last person to take a drink has to buy a new boot of beer. So if it is your turn to drink, you have to decide "can the next guy finish this after I drink?" If you think he can, you have to finish the boot to avoid paying!
