To be honest I'd struggle to tell the difference between rugby league and rugby union but I've seen a lot of university rugby games as a first aider. I saw one particular girls rugby game with a lot of rule breaking including many high tackles resulting in the need for c-spine control and ambulances and one girl even got punched in the face during a scrum. It was the most violent game I've ever witnessed.
I think so, if that is the right word; my apologies and thank you for the correction - what I wanted to say is that we have to consider that protective attire would to a certain extent reduce the brutality of the game to the players. Thank you.
taking into account the protective padding worn by certain football codes. I think that a good rule of thumb is that the smaller the field of play, the closer the spectators, and the more violent the collisions, because collisions are the better close up spectacle. American football has the smallest playing area, therefore they have the most collisions (hence the padding) If the playing field is bigger, then the play will be more free flowing, and the players are more likely to be involved in aerial acrobatics, because the crowd is further away. Australian Rules is such a game that this happens.
She must pack a punch that lady, but is it possibly a head butt?
