Over 50 servicemen from the 173rd Airborne came out to the rugby pitch at the US Army base in Vicenza to be introduced to rugby. The men played touch rugby for about 40 minutes with members of the Penn State Women’s team and they were also introduced to the art of scrumming. Here are some pictures from the event.
