We are honored that Comcast made contact with us, allowing our program to get in on the ground floor of this new venture with the hope of growth for expanded opportunities for all of GSU athletics. Comcast Cable is currently the third-largest cable company in the nation with over six million subscribers. Georgia Southern has one of the nation's premier football programs which naturally leads to compelling viewership. One of the most intensely athletic sports is the game of rugby. It has been played for many years especially in Europe and Australia.
Most people describe rugby as a combination of soccer and football.
For the most part this is true. Rugby is played with no pads, and has about two 20-30 minute halves. The object of the game is to, of course, get more points than the opposite team. The captain of the Georgia Southern rugby team is senior JoJo Kusnitz. He is very enthusiastic about the up coming season this spring.
