Introduction

In the eyes of the untrained, a rugby game is just a bunch of huge individuals senselessly fighting one another, struggling to move an oval ball inch by inch down a field full of mud towards the goal line of the opposing team. Players don’t put on pads or get timeout in case of injuries. Yet rugby is a totally different thing, a gentleman’s sport to those who understand it. While rugby appears rough, its players maintain good respect toward both teammates and their opponents.

To a player, rugby is a relatively cool game, and safer than American football—which is perhaps the reason why players don’t wear pads or helmets. Yet it is a normal thing to suffer minor injuries like a bloody nose, cuts, or bruises. Players believe that the reason for the relative low risk of harm in rugby (compared to other games), is the lack of protective gear. Actually, the presence of protective gear like pads and helmets used in other games subconsciously create a false feeling of safety in the minds of players. It gives them the temptation to play with a disregard for safety precautions. It might seem paradoxical, but this general assumption is likely the reason that, in rugby, we avoid tackling at the head, shoulders, and neck.
