7. Sick…
According to a report in The Times, Loughborough University students were challenged to drink four litres of cider and then the participants were all then sick in a bucket. The last to finish had the vomit thrown at him.
8. Give us a tune
Singing is a common initiation in 2018 but Initiation songs after Ireland debuts are a long-held tradition.
When Joey Carbery made his Ireland debut, and beat New Zealand, he stood in front of the squad and sang the Friends theme tune ‘I’ll be There For You’.
For Robbie Henshaw it was ‘Galway Girl’ while Jordi Murphy belted out ‘Teenage Dirtbag’.
8. Public push-ups in mankinis and maid outfits
Warwick is known for being studious and keeping their head down, but in December last year the streets were alight with the rugby team’s very public initiation ceremony.

9. #PigGate
It’s been suggested that David Cameron once ‘put a private part of his anatomy in a dead pig’s mouth’ as part of an initiation ceremony when he was studying at Oxford University.
A rugby captain who wished to remain anonymous told The Tab that a similar thing happens with the rugby team: “The guys play rugby naked with a pig head and someone wore a squid as a hat for the night.
“The smell was repulsive – but the rugby was hilarious.
“The head stayed in tact as there was no kicking, just big carries.
