Answer 9

i personally think it's quite rough

you know you run at somebody, they tackle you, a ruck forms, you get your head stamped on, kicked and kneed in the face, your hurt, cut, bleeding, and you get up and doing it all again

then when the odd fight breaks out

the odd maul where somebody wants to try and break your neck

the odd spear tackle with no padding or protection

the odd tackle that breaks your ribs

or the odd tackle that dislocates your shoulde

oh my i love it all!!!

Answer 10

i dont know itmight have something to do with the broken bones and stamped on heads and groins, it could have something to do with the numerous brawls and scuffles on the pitch and it might just be something to do with the mentality of the game

either way i love it and wouldn't change it for the world

awesome sport

hope this helps
