Rugby 101

i think you'll find its called the goal-area, if u run the ball into the dead-ball zone you are twat and youve just lost your team's possesion

it's tricky, this argument. There is a right way to tackle, but even the textbook tackle can very easily go wrong, ur head can get caught between their body and the ground, they can knee u in the jaw and break it, concussions and broken noses are very common in rugby, as are other breaks, american football doesnt really have that problem due to protection

Football is way more dangerous than rugby. Tackling in rugby is more like wrestling, and there is a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. Football is reckless and you don't really care about your body when you hit because of the pads. Plus the pads only cover the top part of your body. The helmets are also made of tough plastic which hurt to get hit by. So in that sense, Rugby is a lot safer than Football.

My cousin used to play rugby. He's also had a tree fall on his leg and been hit by a car. You can definitely see how football is derived from rugby, though. Football is just the safer version of rugby, with all the padding and such. I'm not saying that I don't like rugby, but if I ever have kids, I won't let mine play it. It's too dangerous. =) I'd rather have them play football like my brother. Even football can be dangerous, so I can't even imagine a rugby injury.

Damn right!!!!!

Im right behind you dude,all the way!!!

yeh

I have a question about the "try" do you have to dive for the 5 points or is that just for show?
