[quote=Anonymous]The no pads/helmets leads to less leading with the head when tackling, and high tackles are a penalty, so there are less concussions than in football. Yes it’s a rough sport, but there is a position for everyone. Big kids play as forwards, small fast kids outside, etc. and to see a 12 year old kid play through a bloody nose…in his world he is a bad dude and king of the world and can accomplish anything. There is a saying; “soccer is a gentleman’s game played by thugs, rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen.” My kid played 3 seasons at a youth rugby club and his club, and all the ones he played against, were coached by people doing it for the love of the sport and its culture. They’ll teach your kid sportsmanship and teamwork like no other youth sport. Go for it. [/quote]
