This is, eh, different!

The annual US collegiate rugby championships take place in Philadelphia at the end of May, and in a bid to drum up a bit of interest in the event, the University of Michigan's players have come up with this unique piece of self promotion. Equal parts hilarious and disturbing, they've created their own music video showing off some of the best tries and hits their star players have scored, but needing to flesh out a four minute video, it also includes plenty (and I mean plenty) of homoerotic gyrating, thrusting, stretching and semi-naked dancing, all set to the tune of a Taylor Swift song. If that's not your thing, the actual rugby footage is pretty decent too, so it's got something for everyone. Go Michigan!
