Which sport is the absolute best to play in the freezing British rain?

There's nothing quite like sliding tackles in ankle-deep mud while your nan watches from the touchline with a flask. The pitch becomes a swamp by half-time.

Rain just makes the scrum messier and the post-match pint more deserved. You'll forget the cold the moment someone offers a round.

Slipping through fields, hopping over stiles and arriving home looking like a swamp creature. Somehow people pay to do this.

You signed up at 8am thinking it'd be brisk and refreshing. It's neither, but the post-run café stop makes it worthwhile.

Brits will absolutely still play 18 holes in horizontal sleet, claiming it 'builds character'. The 19th hole is the real winner here.
