Good friend of mine was injured when a scrum collapsed. Told he would never walk again but defied the odds. Walks with a stick and a bad limp.It's not a girlie game when the ball is coming at you at 102 mph. If Brits have made it into a girlie game, then they've truly made it British. I tried playing rugby in the 70s, and I kept thinking that being tackled and pummelled while not wearing pads wasn't masculine, it was stupid. More players are paralyzed by neck injuries in the scrum than in any other sport -- including boxing.
Lads at College play and are always picking up injuries and concussions.
