<<I like the sentement, I have always prefered Rugby to football, a game few Americans dare play it seems, not nuff padding or crash helmets.
There are a lot of clubs in the US, most colleges have teams, some high schools and getting to be a good number of women's teams. The team I was with in the 70's would get 2 sides out every week and about half a side for a C game. They play 2 seasons a year.

I don't play rugby because my father played for 19 years and now he needs to have both his knees replaced.
My younger brother took up the sport at college and in the first 3 months hurt his knee.
See, I was smart. I took up ice hockey and I only tore all the ligaments in my shoulder. It hurt, but I can walk straight!

Well, as to bad hits in rugby, I saw a guy get his 'imporant parts' torn open by some cleats during a ruck. He just tucked em right back in and kept playing. I have some serious respect for rugby players because of that.
By the way, I'm pretty sure the Army rugby team would give almost any professional European or Australian team a run for their money(Barring rule changes, give em a little time to learn em and it'd be a good match). I saw Army completely mess up my schools team, which isn't that bad a team.

P.S. Mind you, Army's team is composed of football players who have lost too much weight to play their position well anymore. Think big, strong and fast... then multiply that by 4.
