Americans play rugby. Maybe not professionally but my nephew's high school has a rugby team. He wanted to play, but his football coach actually talked him out of it because Zach is a good cornerback/running back and they don't want to risk losing him to a different sport  :D.

If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

Anyone who has a kid in a sport like this, instantly loses their right to complain about violent video games.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

In my opinion violent video games dont create teenage serial killers and any parent who attributes it to a violent video game or heavt metal/death metal music needs to admit responsibility for not paying attention to the signs that their kid may be mentally unstable, i enjoy both of those things very much and ive never wanted to go out and kill somebody afterwards each help me to relax and cool off instead of taking aggression out on other people

Agreed TMKIWI. I'm of the opinion that BECAUSE rugby players don't wear pads and helmets, they get hurt less. They seem more careful with their hits rather than as in American football, the players ram and spear each other for our entertainment.

However, they are still BIG men and I would not want to be caught between them and the bar!

Agreed Vintage.
There are far more serious injuries in AFL/NFL then Rugby.
The 2 head clashes in the first video's are rare, It just happens that Owen Franks was involved in both of them.
I am just glad he plays for NZ and not the enemy. SA/AUS
He takles better then any of the powder puff Aussies. ;) :P

correct. The don't create killers. That said, if you WANT to fly a 767 jet, they put you in a simulator to train you. Seems to work pretty well.
