Lafayette Rugby = Thumbs Down

Lafayette has to be the worst Rugby team we've ever played. I'm not focusing on their playing ability, but rather their motivation and organization.
First, last Sunday, they call us at 10:30, and tell us that they can't make it to the game at 1. This is because their formal was the night before, and they are all in bed sleeping off hangovers. They give us a few excuses, but it's pretty transparent.
We reschedule the game for Friday under the threat of otherwise reporting them to the EPRU (Lafayette would get fined.) They do show up, but with 12 guys, 3 short of a team. We play anyway.
And now, today. There was supposed to be a three-team tournament, starting at 1 at Lafayette. When we got there, the gates were locked. Apparently, the tournament was cancelled because Lafayette couldn't get a school EMT and ambulance, which is a school requirement for sporting events. Actually, they did try to get an ambulance, but they told the driver that the tourney started at 9. There was then an "after"-party with a keg. It blew. I mean, I wasn't going to get drunk, and I certainly wasn't going to hook up with anybody.
So, in conclusion, Lafayette Rugby is comprised of a bunch of lazy morons.
