I never understood rugby.   the injuries these dudes must face for a lifetime... look way worse than NFL football, with pads and all that.  I guess it's more manly and all, more fun to watch.

honestly Coach, those hits are not as viscous as the NFL.  The intent to injure or dislodge the ball doesn't appear to be there.


How is your son's lifting progress going?

Thus, even a lighter hit on the rugby field will probably be felt more than a harder hit with 6 inches of padding.

It is a different sport.

If rugby tackles would be the same as in NFL there would not be any players left.
Players get concussions with knees to the helmets. What about without a helmet?
220lbs sprinter whacks a knee to somebodys temple and thats the end of that.

Blood makes rugby look more violent.
