How rough is junior rugby?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Rugby is a rough sport, no doubt about that. There is always injuries, blood and tears, after all you are tackling a person to the ground. How rough rugby is can only be determined my yourself. It depends on how tough you are. I am a tough person and have quite a bit of pain tolerance and i found it a bit rough but TOTALLY WORTH IT. It is a fun and intense sport. It may be rough at times but i wouldn't change it for anything.
