		The Stanley Cup is insured for $75,000, but for so many, spending a summer or a day or a moment with arguably the most cherished trophy in sport is, to steal a phrase from a credit card commercial, priceless.

		The idea of Rugby League as virus or contagion and Rugby Union as shelter or nest is also conveyed by the Sports Editor of the Western Mail, John Kennedy, in a 1990 article he wrote on the scouting activities of Rugby League clubs in the Welsh valleys.

		Unlike high schools in the US, where administrators are wary of rugby’s reputation, high schools in Ontario are quick to recognize the obvious advantages of rugby: high cardiovascular output, economical cost and, most of all, the enthusiasm of girls and women.
