The fact that Rugby in both codes is a high impact game sees people getting hurt in every game played. It is the seriousness of these injuries that makes the difference. Most players take a "bump" in a game and play within 5 days again
There are no specific central records of the injury could associated with either codes. However, the NRL and IRB do monitor professional injuries feeding back that data to sports science technical staff and health and safety adviser's.
However, due to the very nature of the game there are injuries in every match played its the severity of the injury which varies.

Well there can be a few answers to this if you mean when was he born that was 1973. If you mean when did he start playing rugby that was in 1990.
No definite answer to that. The problem isn't with breaking the vertebrae, the problem is if you damage the nerves, the spinal cord that runs through the vertebrae. A bad spinal cord injury will make you paralyzed.
