Rugby is a wonderful game!
I played it for 15 years after college.
Believe it or not there are fewer knee & head injuries.
Reason fewer knee injuries, primarily because there’s no blocking. Fewer head injuries is because with no helmet you can’t use your head as a weapon.
Rugby is a wonderful game!
I agree. Players have to be able to play both offense and defense. And the players on the field pretty much decide how the game is to be played (although I have noticed the water guys tend to be big and burly, have earpieces and often have long conversations while dispensing water). The nature of the game means that big guys as well as smaller ones can have a place in the game.
