This game is played annually in Florence Italy and looks quite spectacular.

This pretty much looks like a game we used to play as kids called Smear the queer (no it wasn't some anti gay thing).  We just through in a ball and it was a complete free for all.

I've been to this one.
   

I asked someone how they know which team someone is on. The reply was "oooh, we just knoow".

Pretty gnarly. The whole town gets boarded up and locked down better than most towns would for a war or the hurricane of the millennium.

They get a wee bit of wind there too just BTW.

Definitely gnarly and I love rugby BTW, but calcio fiorentino actually allows punching and kicking and Greco roman style wrestling.

Nothing like some punching kicking and Greco roman wrestling to get your blood pumping.

Touché.  Still, I love watching rugby and wish it was bigger in the States.

We grew up playing "scrag" or "bullrush". Now both banned in most schools. Basically one guy starts in the middle, and can call out one on his mates, who has to get to the end of the field without being tackled. If you get tackled then there's 2 guys in the middle to avoid.

And you can call bullrush which means everyone runs.

You keep going until there only 1 left running.

Here's an Adidas advert with the all black and the British lions having some fun.
