For the love of the game

This is a very good article in the New York Times called:

"Open Membership - Rapid rise of college club teams creates a whole new level of success."

Not about rugby specifically, but the principles apply.

... “Nobody competes for the money or the fame because there are no scholarships and not a lot of attention. The kids have to do all the work to make their club function. They do it because they love their sport, and I’ll tell you what, we don’t have the prima donnas you see at the higher levels of college athletics.”
