I do love Rugby but not the rugby your talking about. Rugby league is by far the greatest game with Rugby Union a distant 2nd..

come on, give me one reason why..

rugby IS without a doubt the best sport in the world i played a few years in High School, then went on to play super league and got hurt so i havnt played in like a year and a half and i miss it! its soooo much fun

hi woot, great to hear from you.
i was beginning to think nobody on this board even heard of it.
rugby rules!

how big is rugby in the us?
how old r u?
what position did you play bro and how did you get hurt?

rugby is small because it requires so much athletic ability they cant televise it hehe... no time for commercials becuase of continuous play =/ im 20 years old and i played prop. im 6'3" and about 265ish

I hurt myself by doing too many scrums i guess you could say lol... basicallly over the years, i had been compensating for all of the pressure on my back by tilting it a lil bit, totally not a good idea so one day, i went to the chiropractor for my weekly alignment, and he was like "uh oh". what had happened was that because of my years of compensating with literally thousands of pounds of pressure running through my back, my spine became shaped like a backwards C. it was pinching alll of the nerves on the left side of my body, affecting me in a lotta ways, like there was a 2 degree difference in body temp on my right and left sides.. i was messed up... a solid good hit could cause my spine to contract, severing some of the nerves.. killing me or paralyzing me so i got outta that game real fast, and went into 6 months of rehab to get better ) so im all better now
