no one on here said it was for pussies,but iv had numerous arguments with friends that try to compare football and rugby,totally downplayin rugby,sayin theres a reason why footballers wear gear and rugby players dont,people sayin that theres no skill in it,its jus a modern smear the queer.these fools have to play 2 40 minute halfs with maybee couple second breaks,and have to know how to play offense and defense.
