Could you handle a game of Arctic rugby?

We've all played rugby in temperatures so cold, mud turns to concrete and sexual organs shrivel up to an eighth their normal size. But has anyone been nuts enough to try this before? A rugby club in Finland (home of Santa, vodka, and, erm, nope that's it, just the two things) is setting up an Arctic Rugby Cup. Games are played on snow 250 km north of the Arctic circle in Saariselkä ski resort. Apparently it is the most northenly rugby tournament in the world, and technically the furthest away from the World Champions you can chase eggs.
