Rugby is a brutal sport but the rugby culture is one of gentlemen. Even at school age, they call the ref's 'sir' and have so much respect for the referee. After the game, both teams will change into shirt and ties and share a meal together. It's a great sport

[@richardmaguire9536]

In my day the meal came in a glass!

[@fiatstilo3]

Enjoyed this. It’s great to see you guys take an interest. Rugby players vary in size between around 180 pounds and 280 pounds (with exceptions outside this range). Skill level of players differs by position, but generally it is high. Because of no padding, it means that players need to get the contact area right to avoid injury. There are surprisingly few serious injuries and I’ve played with guys who are in their 50s. Once you stop, very difficult to get back into. Worth pointing out, that generally the spirit between opposition players and fans is very inclusive. Never any lasting animosity and everyone has a beer and a chat after the game. Rugby referees are also highly respected by players and fans. What they say goes, no arguments.

[@kingz_meko7531]

Rugby has more behind it then just grown men and women smashing each other ever few minutes. Like one of you's said "How do you get past that?" Somewhere along the lines of that, Rugby isn't a one skill sport, you need to have multiple skills and mastery over a various amount of expertise, for example: Kicking, passing, stepping etc. You must posses a lot of stamina as well, full 40 min halves with non-stop plays (unless a penalty or something like that happens, but that doesn't last long) running back in forth, throwing yourself into tackles, or putting yourself against a ball carrier, running miles across the field, thinking about whats coming next while in play, its very stressful. Yet so fun. Getting pass the defensive line, varies in many different ways. You could be big and strong and just power through them all, but that could only get you so far, unless you're Jonah Lomu or some beast like him. You could find holes in the defence, and run through them, or get one of your players into that hole by passing it to him/her. Stepping, requires a lot skill, you got to know when to step, how to step and the amount of power you put into the step to push of you're foot and speed through. Although, sometimes, Rugby players have a good mindset, and can read you're steps. Mixing up the defence is common in both Rugby and League, doing amazingly confusing plays that even gets the crowd confused happens. A lot of work and intellect go into those plays, these can allow holes to open in the defence to again, put yourself or a teammate through. There are so many ways to break the defence line in Rugby and League. The best thing about it, is that it doesn't matter what size you are. Size literally doesn't matter in this sport. You could be the smallest in the whole game and you can hit the biggest players. I mean, ask Fef De Klerk "The Giant Slayer", it requires good technique, skill and timing, but literally, you can hit ANYBODY, not matter the size difference.

[@fiatstilo3]

Good post. Important to point out that the game is very nuanced. Requires a wide range of skills and technique in the tackle is essential. The reason that there is surprisingly few injuries, is because players are taught technique in the tackle. Tackle rules also very important. Must not tackle above the shoulder, must use arms in the tackle, if you lift a player, you are responsible for bringing him or her down safely. No pads=pain, so need to get right.

Two formats of rugby you have the 15 a side and a 7 a side version. The 15 a side is what we can say the classic version or the main version of the sport. It is played for 80 minutes for 40 minutes each half. The 7 a side format is played for 14 minutes with 7 minutes each half. 7's is fast and explosive and this format is played in the Olympics.

[@grizzlynad]

This is a good explanation of which is sport is more dangerous. "As a long-time football enthusiast who enjoyed playing the sport in high school, it hurts me to say that I would rather see my kid on a rugby pitch than on the football gridiron. Rugby may entail more physical tackles throughout the course of a game owing to the continual flow of the game, but I feel the players also have a lot more respect for their opponents. Rugby players don’t feel invincible since they don’t have hard plastic shielding their heads as football players do, and they won’t use their heads as a weapon. In rugby, precise tackling form is much more important since you can’t just drop your shoulder into an opponent or take them out at their knees. And, unlike intended receivers in football, who are vulnerable to massive hits when looking back for a pass, rugby players appear to be aware of possible tacklers at all times".

The option to kick it into the goal also exists. The plays don't stop when a player is tackled, the ball must be let go unless the player can recover and keep running.
