we only ever played it when we didn't have anything to use as a football lol but when we did you were guaranteed to go back into school after dinner, bleeding or with a ripped shirt/trousers it got pretty brutal tbhsam the drummer said:

People used to play this at my old high school on the field, teachers tried to stop it like however the only problem is the teachers thought the best way to stop a bunch of teenagers charging at each other was to stand in the middle of the field...

I'm 16 and we've never been allowed to play it in secondary school (didn't stop us from trying like). I seem to remember we were allowed to play it in primary school though, god knows whose idea that was

Good old Tackle Bullrush as it was called down here. At our primary school, we had two kind of mounds about fifteen metres apart... it made an ideal Bullrush arena as you picked up pace running down a ramp.

It really is far too complicated for a simple explanantion,and rules can vary - best explanation,(amazingly),is probably Wikipedia.
In a nutshell,the basic idea is to get to an "endzone" without being caught by whoever is a "bulldog".
Also involves bouncing a tennis ball through legs for some bizarre reason.
It always seemed to degenerate into a mass scrap anyway,and was often used as a pretext for giving unpopular boys a thoroughly-deserved kicking.
It was deemed to be far too dangerous for the posh boys at Stockport Grammar and was banned with immediate effect,to be replaced by the far more genteel pastime of buggery.

When we used to play it, on concrete, you had two safe zones with a running area in between, one person was picked to be the bulldog and as everyone ran from one safe zone to the next the bulldog had to grab someone, wrestle them to the ground and pin him down for the count of 3. If he was successful then there would be two bulldogs etc....
My teachers tried to stop injuries and damage to uniforms by playing a tig version, it didn't work! Can be quite dangerous, for both bulldog and runner.

Thanks for the explanations guys. It sounds like a nice genteel game with no injuries likely to happen;-)
