I am not asking this to get in a big argument about which sport is tougher. As an American who plays American football, I respect rugby as a sport, as you truly have to have a pair to go full contact with no pads. I was just wondering how often rugby players have head injuries since unlike football they don’t have a helmet to absorb the hit as much? Again this not for arguing, it is just an honest question looking for an unbiased answer.
