Tickets for the Chicago matches of the Barclays Churchill Cup are on sale now. The tournament is North America's biggest international rugby tournament, and if you recall, the tournament will culminate in Chicago with the final day of competition being played at Toyota Park.
Tickets start at $20 and include all three final matches between USA, Canada, England Saxons, Ireland A, Scotland A and Argentina. If you buy your tickets early, you can be entered in a special prize drawing to win a trip for two to England next spring to watch England take on Scotland in the Royal Bank of Scotland Six Nations Tournament. Tickets are available now through Ticketmaster.
Chicagoist enjoyed the live action Rugby match between the USA Eagles and Ireland's Munster last year, and we're really looking forward to this full-day event.

I went to the Rugby match last year and it was drunken fun, with tons of hot English dudes.
I still don't understand all the rules of the sport but f me that's a good deal.
@ Ryan P:
Every spring, several clubs have demo practices that demonstrate the rules to fans and prospective members.
If you have a video game system, you can rent EA Sports Rugby, which has a real good intro tutorial for it.
And failing that, Wikipedia is always handy.
I played rugby union all through college, and despite the thousands of dollars in medical bills and three concussions (I have a massive Irish head), I loved every minute of it. Even the wind sprints.
