Answer 14

Rugby football, often just "rugby", may refer to a number of sports descended from a common form of football developed at Rugby School in England, United Kingdom. Rugby league, rugby union, American football and Canadian football are modern sports that originated from rugby football. Rugby league and rugby union are the only two sports referred to as "rugby" today.

Answer 15

NO not at all. Motocross is way more demanding. Ballet is too.

Answer 16

No its soft. rugby league is the toughest game on earth

Answer 17

The simple answer to your question is YES, rugby is a hard game. But here is a story i would like to tell if I may.

Carwyn James, the coach that is deservedly in the Rugby Hall of Fame, wasn't good enough to Coach Wales because he wanted to select the team himself (they had team selectors at this time)

Carwyn coahced the British Lions, was a GREAT coach, and had taken a team to win the Italian Championship and they had an audience with the then Pope ...

"Rugby is, I believe, a rough game, Mr James "

said the Pope to Carwyn...

"Not when played properly" , Carwyn replied ...

I have always liked that quote.

One myth I would like to dispel though is that rugby players don't wear padding. They wear body armour, it is essential in the modern game, although I am seriously against it.

Rugby is getting scary, you now have 20stone wingers who can run 100m is 10 seconds at like 30mph is it rough? work it out for yourself from the above statement LOL

Answer 18

Yes,

A very rough sport. Most of the guys bleed through the games.

Answer 19

Not particually

But since taking up the sport I have suffered two head injuries one involving the recipient getting knocked out and I got concusion. The second involved three stitches in my head and the most recently  I have chipped my ankle bone.

Its good when played properly

Answer 20

yer very physical

Answer 21

YEAH!!! of course, u gotta be tough to be a rugby player

Answer 22

yes... your probably likely to get several boes broken while playing rugby

Answer 23

Yeah!!

Its Real Rough.

It Is Like American Football Without Pads.And Instead Of Stopping Play Every Time Someone Hits The Ground There Are Rucks.They Are Really Physical And They Can Hurt Because People Can Stand On You And People Hit You And All Sorts.And Some Of The Hits Are Really Hard.Watch This If You Don't Believe Me.

Answer 25

Old welsh guy is def right i mean this game gets really brutal when you have guys that have body mass and speed.  I'm pretty fast for how much i weigh 17 stones and i can run 40yds in 4.7 seconds.

But watch the clip and decided for urself
