    Is rugby a girls sport?

    I been wondering, after I watched this video I thought rugby is a joke, please rugby take notes from these guys. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Rugby with no pads is way tougher on the body than the hardest hits in football with pads

    If you think about it, the pads make it more dangerous. Just like all these safety devices in cars make them more dangerous. People think they're protected, do too much, then get hurt. Remember being a child playing tackle football without pads? Remember you NEVER led with your head? Hence you never had neck/spine injuries?

    Rugby is definitely intense but the hitting doesn't compare to American Football. I know many that have played both at high levels. The problem with football players trying rugby is that they use their heads too much and end up getting f'd up. Also, there's no blocking in rugby which makes it seem like a much more defense oriented game. Both are great sports though.
