Anyone play it? How much does it fuck you up? Injuries all the time (like American football), or less? Fun? No?

Am thinking about joining the school rugby team. Wanna get some opinions before I do.

Cheers!

What is it with you europeans and your stupid games like rugby. Real men play football! Go Dolphins!

Rest of the world is just jealous. So: Fuck you; America > You. EOF.

Glad to have an intelligent discussion with yall.

Seriously though, you're asking about sports on this forum? How long have you been around? If you had asked about some rugby game on the pc/console you would have gotten many answers. But the real thing? That's like out there in teh REAL WORLD! Sad

Rugby is played pretty much played without any means of protection. Leather helms, mouth clamps and cups. Some have some very thin plastic plates stuck under their shirts to help absorb the worst shoulder and arm hits.

This means also that the hits arent as hard as in american football because they have thick layers of protection they can afford to put more muscle behind the tackles. Rugby is considered a harder sport, though. Nothing to absorb the worst hits. It's damn manly Very Happy


8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

when i was a kid we played backgyard rugby with a plastic 2 litre bottle. It was all just for shits and giggles and a reason for us all to get bruised and tattered and teary. Laughing Basically a reason for 6 kids to get all riled up on top of each other

I personally found Union to be more tougher but each to his own.

you were right my friend, until the dolphins remark. The dolphins fuckin suck. If it wasnt for Dan Marino and that team they had in the 70's, they wouldnt even be known

Now, the Giants, thats a real team. And no, I dont support them because they won the Super Bowl last year...ive been a Giants fan since i was kid
