Hey, Nashville, did you know you had a women's rugby team? It's true! And not only do you have a rugby team, you have a CHAMPIONSHIP rugby team. Last year, Nashville's Stone Lions beat out both Memphis and Louisiana to win the True South Championships. In May they'll go up against the rest of the region in the South Championship. Rad!
I got to talk broken bones and bruises with Stone Lions captains Kellie Hurst and Regina Durkan for this week's People Issue, and the team was also kind enough to let Matthew J. Nemer and our own Stephen Trageser take some video at one of their recent practices. Watch the above video to see just how badass they are!
You can learn more about the Stone Lions (and check out their schedule of upcoming events) at NashvilleWomensRugby.com. Practices are open to the public, too, so if you want to try rugby, just show up and they'll show you the way. No experience is required, just don't be afraid to get a little dirty.
