Sadly, Yes. The game has had some very serious events that have resulted in loss of life. Its rare, buts its happened. There has been a recent death following a Rugby injury where a student in the UK broke his neck and developed complications later. However, the IRB and NRL are trying hard keep the ethos of the game but put in safe guards all the time. Its difficult when the beloved game is all about big hit contacts.
