I played it once.

You want to move a ball to a goal, but the other side doesn't want you to. So you and your team try to beat the hell out of the other time, and they try to beat the hell out of you; this is called a "scrum" or somesuch. After the match, and sometimes before the match, everyone gets drunk to kill the pain of their injuries. The drinking is the best part.

Not every game has someone killed.

The only thing worse is Gaelic football.
