Ask anyone in Austin, Texas what Harvard Business School is famous for, and you’re likely to get a variety of responses. Capitalism. Educating leaders of Fortune 500 companies.

In back-to-back recent weekends, the HBS rugby team was canvassing the greater New England area, putting on rugby clinics for opposing teams.

For almost 50 years, the men of the Harvard Business School Rugby Football Club have been dominating their opponents, both on and off the field.
