Tony R Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 If that's a big hit in rugby then then they should avoid playing American football. Hits like that are in every game. I don't need to hear about the padding. Anyone who goes to the pad card is someone that has not seen, touched or worn the pads from American football. They don't do much. This is bullshit. I watched football players whither and die during tackling drills on a Rugby pitch. So many neck injuries in US Rugby because you can not lead with your head when you don't have a helmet on. And pads make a huge difference. I guess you need to enlighten us how helmets stop players from having next injuries since they don't. Only thing helmets are trying to do is reduce head injuries. Plenty of players have sustained neck injuries with helmets. As far as my comment being bullshit my point is if that particular hit is considered a big hit I'm not impressed. Helmets don't stop all concussions but take 'em off and see what happens. Perhaps you should learn a bit about Rugby beyond a sample size of one video before you form an opinion? Don't worry about Ancient Ways, we have no use for him. Your world is doing fine?He's just a waste of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's elementary to me. Team sports involve cooperation amongst the team to score points via a goal, touchdown, etc. Boxing, MMA, etc are individual sports that involves scoring points by pummeling your opponent and knocking them into next week. We'll just disagree then, as I doubt I'll change your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also break their wrist, hyperextend their elbow and dislocate their shoulder. Or - if you prefer - you can just choke them unconscious. Lotsa options.

Rick N. Backer Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I would say that sports where "fighting" is the central component of the competition (and no, I don't include a Bruins game in that category :D ) those athletes are obviously by definition tough. In sports where fighting isn't the central component of the competition, I'd give the nod to hockey players for physical toughness. On the OP, put a Ray Lewis in his prime, or a Brian Urlacher, on the rugby field and I think you'd find a fair amount of fellows on the other team wishing they had pads on.

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Irish Hurling looks like an absolutely brutal sport Funnily enough, it's not too bad. It looks like it should be banned, but in the right hands it's a wonderful sport. Yesterday, my company sponsored a Junior Hurling blitz. Teaching kids, ensuring they know the basics before they head off to play in under age tournaments. At least now all players must use helmets. Up to a few years ago helmets were optional!!! Crazy. When you consider the hurl is made of solid ash(when two hurls hit off each other, the pain runs from your fingers to your shoulder, romantically it's called the clash of the ash) and some players have a metal strip across the boss of the hurl. and the ball(Sliotar) is like a rock. They say it's the fastest field sport in the world. We are in the middle of the All Ireland Series right now, and yesterday evening the imperious Kilkenny lost to Dublin. Truly, the hurling world has been turned on its head. Here's some action for you, I've posted this before: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
