[QUOTE="Welshdragon2000, post: 930606, member: 74797"] The USA are definitely my second team in rugby. They are my first team in 7s and I am very pleased to see them doing well. I have very close friends in America where I hope to live soon enough so I really hope rugby catches on over by you. When I tell my American friends that I play rugby, the reaction is always that it is an extremely tough sport and there’s so many more injuries and concussions that American football. After all, NFL players have helmets. Interestingly, there’s more concussions in ‘football’ than rugby. I put this down to players thinking they are invinsibke with their helmets and therefore they use their helmets to tackle. Playing rugby teaches you to take care in the tackle and makes you be careful with your head. I wish I could share your enthusiasm of American football but I’ve just never got into it not properly watched it. From what I’ve seen though is that it is just too slow and too stop-start. [/QUOTE]
