As Cal football continues their preparations for their Hawaii game on Saturday, Beast Mode was busy claiming important territory for the California Golden Bears on the rugby pitch. Marshawn Lynch has had some busy times with the Bears down under, attending practice and then suiting up with the scout team.

And of course there is the ever so important touchdown crotch grab (or in this case, the rugby try crotch grab).
