Rugby

Tried that for the first time today, hella-fun, a lot better than American Football! specially cause of the whole pass-back rule, not so much showboating and more teamwork, doesn't work if everyone just runs on a pre-planned play route either, have to know where the entire team is all the time.. good stuff.
I mean, it's all windy stairs. I'm not being funny.

Rugby is a game for proper men who don't mind getting hurt and are comfortable with getting close to other blokes in scrummages (mainly because you get to punch the other team and squeeze their bollocks to make them angry when the referee isn't looking).

American football is for girly men with shaved chests who have to wear body armour because they aren't very tough and they don't want to get all hurty and have to tell their mummys that the nasty other men made them cry.

They can indeed tackle head on, as long as the player has his feet on the ground you just run in and hit, while of course wrapping your arms around and not going for the neck.

Loved watching Featherstone Rovers and Castleford rip each other apart.... Brendan Tuuta's favourite move was going for the throat.

Pfff..... Rally crashes are nothing.

On the injury front Wayne Looney has still not recovered from the nasty gash sustained when an over-zealous Ecuadorian player came down far too hard with his squidger and his wink caught Wayne a nasty glancing blow on his left eye.
Now thats hardcore!
