As in any sport there are risks. Rugby in both codes is a high impact contact sport. The action of tackling, rucking and scrummaging requires intense contact and considerable strength to win position of the ball. There have been some very unfortunate injuries in the time the game has developed. However, the IRB continue to work aggressively to remove as much risk as possible without ruining the game. You will see players banned for dangerous play, sent off under red card rules for using spear tackles etc. However, the game has always been a hard game, but played with the correct attitudes it is one of the worlds greatest games. As the old saying goes "Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen".
