Thread: Some awesome Rugby Hits

I know that there are not too many Rugby fans out here in the States. But its actually coming with more and more High Schools and Colleges offering it as a school sport.

Me being a huge Rugby fan and having played for 5 years now, I am very glad to see that this sport is becoming more popular.....

Here is a fun video I found and I thought I'll just share it....

damn that was intense! those are some crazy hits and slams.

and we say american footballers are the toughest athletes.

um...having played both...with football being played as a Safety/linebacker at a D1 school.
let me tell you why we (american football) hit harder.

we are larger. show me a 290lb guy in rugby who runs a 4.5 and can spear your ass.

helmet hurts a lot more than a pansy lil shoulder will


we are faster. name the lasty olympic sprinter that played rugby.. size x speed = big hurt.

a safety gets a lead on a slot or TE catching a pass down the middle...show me that in safety

all those hits shown (in this thread) would be similar to a rushing play...those never do as much damage as a safety on a reciever.

helmets limit vision. you dont see some of the hits comming.

and finally.....we have a dude named Ray Lewis.

That being said...I absolutely love Rugby and australian rules football even more.

we should have a l4p east vs west with the winner playing the south rugby match....so i can run through some of yous.

Rugby is the real mans game, none of that helmet crap

Both are great sports with great athletes. The debate between explosive power vs endurance at high output levels is one that will never be settled.

evertime you drop the ball you start again, joke

Haha 0:40 the dude in black just picks up the guy who already let go of the ball and tosses him away like its nothing

come try it.

every down also means a new play...good luck remembering that.

with all of american football's cadences, plays, audibiles., gap blocking, reads, (and thats just the offense)...you brits would run home confused and crying.
