It really speaks to his character how he doesn't cry over the pain, but he cries over the thought that he almost cost his daughters their dad. What a great man.

[@cjh831]

Not just a great man, but a Great father. His thought after the whole ordeal was "are they ok?"

[@libertasdemocratiam887]

You've never watched rugby league have ya? If you're willing to go out ehre you aren't gunna cry if you get a big hit, you're not a normal being, your not right in the head to go running into people running towards you to put you on your arse. The league has some games on channel 4 this year take a peak.

[@libertasdemocratiam887]

@@plop6759 tbf he kind of his, he went and had a run around with people who play rugby far more than he does, it was bound to end in injury. And you may find that some on here with negative comments are actually sick of this guy representing rugby league like this when he is a supporter of one of the most detested clubs in the league for a whole hsot of reasons, like the their dodgy payrol techniques to get big named bog money players, despite the fact they never seem to break the pay caps each club has. It maye do some on here well to remember he's not merely being a comic or host when he's talking about or in this case playing rubgy, he's a Warrington fan and Warrington simply aren't popular amongst rugby league fans.

[@BradGryphonn]

This is powerful.

[@oreldodin]

What an absolute LEGEND I'm sure he already recovered from that injury, but still, hope all is well Adam, keep well mate

[@MichaelM28]

Legend? LMFAO. He's a smug woke prick!

[@ar68482]

I'm fine don't worry

[@rorybone100]

No matter what level you're playing at, a head or neck injury is one of the most sickening sights you'll ever see on a rugby pitch.

[@jorderooij5153]

Bad injury, I was stretchered off at Wembley stadium (head injury). I Was injured at the under 17 tournament last year.

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

Honest question: why don’t they wear helmets?

[@vampirodemente]

I’ve played rugby union but the laws are similar in that you’re not allowed to wear helmets. There are scrum caps but they do nothing against concussions or neck injuries, they are more to protect skin and ears. I think the general feeling is that a helmet will lead to overconfidence in its ability to protect and therefore lead to poor tackling technique and injuries.

[@borismuller86]

Daniel Jordán which is what happens in American Football.

[@Scottland89]

As someone who coaches (and use to play) American Football, full hard shelled helmets do not equal "no head injuries". American Football tackles are not like Rugby tackles (and both are not known to be soft by any measure). NFL recenetly had a whole concussion awarness stuff before pro Rugby had theirs (by a couple of years). Tldr- this could of easily still happen to Adam if he played American Football.

[@Humackdizzler]

I would think that helmets in rugby would have the same effect that gloves had to boxing. Before boxing gloves became the standard there were very few fatalities as bare knuckle boxers would rarely go for the head and matches rarely ended by KO. Fatalities in boxing became far more common after gloves were introduced.

[@callumscott953]

@@Humackdizzler Not really, rugby has higher rates of concussion than American Football. They simply don't wear helmets because it goes against tradition. American Football had the same issue, and decided to start wearing protective gear, Rugby chose to look at changing the rules to allow for safer play rather than protective equipment. Playing with no pads is still more dangerous however due to the smaller margin of error in the tackle.

[@jacobsalter629]

This the disabled team or something?

[@helddominance5033]

Thats right. 90% of players are full contact, with the rest being people with brain injuries, that can get involved in tackles at discression or play as the touch rugby League contingent. Still part of the team

[@nilanjanroy2009]

Saftey ? Thier playn like abled players to the point of hard contact . Fix your rules

[@RIXRADvidz]

if you're over 40 and still want to play competition sports, go have a talk with a counselor. even if you are fit, your body has a very hard time recovering from hard hits and falls. seriously, get that shit out of your system before your 40, after 40, you've earned your seat in the bleechers.

[@helddominance5033]

I get it, but there are over 35's Rugby league starting all over Canada for instance, like the Ontario Greybeards to help fans learn the game, get involved and have fun in the team enviroment. It is a good stress reliever and a great way to keep fit. This form though could be a fantastic release for wounded war vets around the world, or even the Wheelchair form

Sook. Man up, Hillsy. You're embarrassing us. From a fellow Aussie.

How about you grow up. There’s nothing manly about taking stupid risks. Especially when you have children to consider. Hillsy showing such consideration is the manliest thing he could have done in that instance. As an Aussie, your comment is embarrassing us

@@YouChwb Yep, SO am I , so I can say it with some authority, I saw him when he was still doing the rounds of the dingy 50 seat pubs and clubs around Australia. And if he didn't have his FAR FUNNIER English sidekicks, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe to make him look FAR more talented than he is, he'd still be a nobody, doing 50 seat clubs and none of this would matter....
