Probably has to be rugby because of slide tackles and other bad tackles that can cause the field damaged.
In England young players start off by playing mini rugby where it is non-contact on very small pitches. They will move up to junior rugby where contact is allowed. However it still isn't very rough because players are relatively inexperienced and not as developed or muscular as senior players. So very little damage is done in tackles etc.
below the neck, and no spear tackles. Clothlines are now acceptable.
Both code have hige amounts of physical contact. League has been developed to maintain the "big hits" and be a very fast open running game". This of course means more tackles at speed.
NO, it quite the opposite. Much of the aggression is taken out on the pitch in breaking tackles and making tackles. Rugby in both code has a low level of associated violence both from players and supporters. This is why rugby supporters are not segregated like soccer supporters are
It is rough tackles and long time injuries after operations.
The rule is that tackles at and above the neck are dangerous and therefore illegal. However, because of the nature of the shirts used it is not unexpected that players will grasp the collar of the opposing player when making tackles and therefore is accepted.

Yes, very important, as they do the most tackles and linebreaks (after winger)
No it should not be , as it is a very rough and tough game. Yes definitely. I loved it. It's really good fun, loads of running around. Once guys start getting heavy though it starts gatting tough. I think there should be a choice of tag (no tackles) or regular rugby after age 15 or so.
Basically rugby is played in India. It has no similar types of sport which handles the ball, tackles, scrummages and kick in the same manner
