Are Rugby balls painful?

Question

I had tennis elbow once, and that was painful enough!

Answer 1

They can be,best not to swallow one,but if you must drink plenty of water.

Answer 2

There was a rugby player who once  partially dislocated his hip and when the offending part placed back in by the physio, the gentlemens testicles was trapped between the cavity created under the leg, now must of been a bit stingy

Answer 3

no more so than footballs- and a lot less than Cricket and Hockey Balls

Answer 4

That's a good one pal. Depends on whom you offer your balls to. Does the phrase "caught by the balls" ring any bells?

Answer 5

I actually like it when they are slapping me from behind- but make sure they are cleanly shaven or trimmed and not stubbley- thats no fun, especially if you want them licked.

Answer 6

Depends on what size they been blown up to.

Answer 7

Not as bad as golf balls - this is where you try to play a shot, but get all twisted in the middle!

Answer 8

question of the year

:)

Answer 9

no but they are a funny shape

Answer 10

A lot of men AND women play with odd shaped balls......they seem to be able to move around ok....!!!!!!!!

Answer 11

Depends where they hit you and how deep they are embedded.

Answer 12

I dont find they are! If they arn't pumped up properly a flat one tends to sting your hands after a while but otherwise I am sure you will live!!!!!

Answer 13

not as painful as cricket balls

Answer 14

Well it certainly hurts in the balls. Grow a pair.

Answer 15

Depends if you play in the front row.  My prop once told me you get them twisted so many times that they become permanently numb in the end!

Answer 16

No genrally, depends how fast it is travelling. Over the 30 years I have been involved in Rugby, Playing and Coaching, I have never come across anyone hurt by the ball. By the players yes, never by the ball.
