As someone who doesn't watch (or really get) rugby, this was actually pretty fun to watch. Apparently it was originally called murderball. Maybe they should have kept that name.

I can certainly see why they’d want to change the name of the sport to be more…socially acceptable. But yeah, rugby is just not the right name.
