[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 342697, member: 265"] Yep. I was just at a periodic lunch with my old (believe it) high school classmates. They were showing a UK rugby game on the TVs. A lot of the players were like US football players, mostly like DEs, LBs, and RBs though there was one guy who weighed about 270 out there. Since it's rugger, there were no pads allowed (except ear protectors). There was not a single clear hit a la US football in the entire match. Tackles were by grabbing the shoulders of the opposing player and dragging him down. I don't think we'll get rid of present equipment and we'll keep trying to improve it to reduce injury. The perverse result will probably be to free players more and more of inhibitions to hit each other as the chances of certain injuries go down. I don't see a way out of this except by rule changes.
