I had never even watched a rugby game until a couple years ago. I was at my girlfriends uncles house & his son was playing in the high school championships at MTSU. So next thing I know Im going to a fukin Rugby game. 3 kids left the game, 2 in ambulances. Brutal shit. Its like football but instead of helmets they use tube socksComment -
I picked up on a lot, but it would be a sport I have to study a while. Some pretty weird shit when they all line up with their heads up each others asses & such.
Its wild how here in East TN Rugby is like soccer, unheard of. But in Middle TN it is huge. All the High schools have Rugby teams & they take it as serious as football. Even a town south of Nashville called Rugby, TN. Its all in the people who settled there I guess.Comment -
watched it few times and yes it is brutal, american football looks like game for sissy when compared with rugby.Comment -
I dont get it. The violence is there as much as in american football, but they have no protective equipment. I mean, I dont give a fuk if they carry switchblades because Im not playin the shit, but with all the safety first crap that pussifying America I cant believe they let kids play thisComment -
Played in my HS first XV. Some Australian Catholic schools are as serious about it as American schools are about Football.Comment -
Rugby is amazing to play and watch.
But if you want violent, look up the Irish sport called Hurling... Those guys are insane.
