What you think uce, you glad mate ma’a Tonga went down, or nah?? :patrice:
I'm mixed about this lol. You know samoans and tongans dont get along but I don't hate them(tongans) .

I wanna to cheer against them but I'm glad an island team made a serious run in the tourney to represent them

That ref can go fukk himself, he robbed them a legit argument of whether it was a try or not by not going to the video ref

rugby teams are unfortunately a breeding ground for cacs engaging in unharlemlike behavior while drunk :francis:

This.

Love playing the game, but I can never socialise with those people.

Breh in Scotland just got a bottle broken off on his ass, literally. Perps got a slap on the wrist.

All Blacks used to sit around in a circle jerking off onto a biscuit and the last one to finish had to eat it :scust: breh in NZ tried to tell me the All Blacks are men's men - I told him if the soggy biscuit story(what they called the above) is true then they're a bunch of butt bandits :hhh:

While we're on the subject of rugby, Scotland just pasted Australia 53 -24 in what was genuinely the best performance I've ever seen from a Scotland team. :ohlawd:

if the nfl used the same rules as rugby in regards to tackling there would be no CTE cases...

and rugby boys can actually fight and throw hands

It’s not about the rules. Wearing helmets is the problem with CTE. NFL has much more aggressive tackling as a result of the face being covered, which results in head trauma. NFL should get rid of helmets altogether

Nah the rules are a part of it, in NFL you don't even really have to try and make a proper tackle, but in rugby its at least a penalty if you keep your arms down in the tackle, and we just saw a player sent off for it this weekend

NFL players get hurt delivering tackles all the time b/c they don't feel any need to try and protect themselves going into the collision

While their form of tackling is safer that's not the only thing. The pads in the NFL are used as weapons. Also in rugby everything is kept in front of you. Rarely will you ever take a blind-side hit, when you combine that with the lack of bad and form tackling it leads to less head injuries. I played rugby in high school and college and I can only recall once taking a bad hit and even that I saw coming. My teammate threw the ball high as shyt to me and I was the only one on my side, it was either jump catch it and get fukked up or don't catch let the other team get it and probably score. I caught it braced myself for the hit as much as possible and tbh it wasn't even that bad, didn't even get the wind knocked out of me or nothing. Where as when I was playing football in high school, I was on defense and damn near every 5 plays I had to watch for a crack block or a nikka on my own team knocking my off a tackle.

I think you have to remember the nature of football means ur going to have more unpreventable collisions cuz ur throwing the ball to receivers who dont see tackles coming.In rugby all the tackles you can see in front of you,ur not looking back to catch balls.Theres no throws to defenseless players...that has alot to do with why the hits arent as devastating and why they dont need helmets...
