Team golf where people try to smash your shins with the stick or knock you out with the ball. Oh well, each to their own, Rugby players try to talk American style footballers down as pad wearing wusses.

not canadian field hockey rules it's crap lol
and we have lacrosse which is where you whip an hard rubber ball at people to hurt them & beat them with your stick while trying to score with it too in the long run after everyone's all beat up.
rugby doesn't allow american football tackles and if they did it would only take a few good spear & chicken wing tackles to end the careers of all the top players.
spear tackles break peoples spines without gear and knees even with them so it's a different game.
chicken wing tackles will usually break an arm too if a 275 lb steroid freak pulls one on you and maybe even tear your rotator cuff and leave your arm lame so they have different hit rules.
I couldn't see rugby guys without gear spearing each other head first & banging heads and not adopting gear after several cases of retardation.

Spear Tackles were made illegal when the sport went professional. Funny what money does to things. Chicken wings just plain old weren't thought of by rugby players, besides that I don't think gridiron pads would actually do anything to limit their effectiveness. Head clashes are actually more common in rugby league and union than is really safe, retardation doesn't affect the money flow as quickly as a snapped neck.

Nothing wrong with union odee,lol playing was beneficial to getting use to contact for myself or was it my Martial arts was beneficial for Rugby mmm?, state of origin geesus ,now thats a battle? but on a serious note the contact in rugby was a confidence booster and confidence is what you need in yourself for self defense agree?
