I had neighbor that played rugby. We went to one of his games and really didn't understand the game. You should check out some video of Irish Football, Hurling, or Aussi Rules football. In all three their is contact, but no where near like football or hockey. In aussie rules football you can only tackle from the shoulders down. Hurling is some what similar to Lacrosse. sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580867647162091670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-89193338552674530882019-09-25T09:21:06.180-05:002019-09-25T09:21:06.180-05:00Rugby is starting to look more and more appealing ...Rugby is starting to look more and more appealing to me. Which led me to look into the notion that the lack of protective equipment (as opposed to oft injured football players) might lead to fewer injuries. Apparently, it's not quite that simple: certain injuries endemic to football happen less frequently in rugby for sure, but it seems that scrums often lead to spine problems that aren't as prevalent in football. And as far as entertainment goes, rugby looks like fun and it would probably be a great deal more enjoyable if I knew what was going on, but it's certainly better than soccer, which derives most of its interest like football from the players trying to see how much many rules they can break without getting caught.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.com
