- like your football, only they don't stop when someone falls over. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 20:50 7
  - It's a strange coincidence that the falling over happens after a 270-pound man with 4.4 speed hits at maximum impact. - David Aug 8, 20:52 6
    - rugby's... not much different. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 21:00 5
      - And no pads. I don't think I even saw an elbow or knee pad. Just the head gear to I think protect the ears. Cauliflower ear is rough. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 21:04 3
        
        though I knew an Irish guy who played football in university after rugby his whole life previously, and said the pads are as much a way to hurt - mafic Aug 8, 21:12 2
        
        I've heard because of the pads they're more reckless and the helmets are weapons. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 21:36 1
