...like Richard Ford to a three-book deal, then telling him to forget about those long, languid sentences and write punchier. Or a promoter snaring Bruce Springsteen, only to insist he limit himself to Barry Manilow covers. This kind of shackling of talent is what defined the Rugby World Cup, which ended with the unlikely England-South Africa final in Paris on Oct. 20. As frustrating a tournament as many would care to recall - up there with the worst of the soccer World Cups and their goal-less, gamesmanship-ridden ordeals - the event proved that rugby is sick and needs...
...players' fault. Their fervor in France was the Cup's saving grace. Lined up before matches, imbibing their anthems, most looked ready and able to astonish with honed athleticism. Alas, rugby these days teases but seldom delivers. Its laws prevent even the most gifted players from showing more than a fraction of what they can do.

Both are listed as defensemen on the roster. Cahow’s national team experience dates back to the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, where...
While the Houses fight for this year’s Straus Cup, some have turned their attention to a new kind of trophy: The Gay Cup. The first annual Harvard Gay Games, sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance (BGLTSA) took place last Sunday in the MAC Quad. This Field Day-style athletic event, spearheaded by Lowell House BGLTSA tutors Christina G. Warinner and Marcus Alexander, included an egg-run, a three-legged race, hot potato, and the orange pass. Despite the fierce competitive spirit, the Gay Games are meant to be fun and all-inclusive...
