The scar was very interesting.
Rugby players are an odd lot.

The summer after I graduated from college, I went to TCOTU to visit of friend of mine who had gotten a job at some tony ad agency there. He had this crappy 5th floor walk up apartment, and we crowded a bunch of people in there and drank way too much for way too long. At some point, a group of us ventured out onto the fire escape to smoke cigarettes and enjoy the breeze. My friend went to hop up onto the railing of the fire escape, overshot it in his drunken state and fell 5 stories to the pavement below. That sobered us all up.
He basically broke every bone in his body. But the paramedics told us that the only reason he survived was that he was so drunk when he fell, he was pretty relaxed when he hit the ground.
I saw him at a wedding a couple of years ago. He still has a limp, but you have to look for it. And he had some very, very good blow on him.
