those were some big hits...
but these are huge... especially as a lot are blindside hits, or they're in vulnerable positions

just to clarify the point about wrapping, it is in the law that you must wrap when you tackle, you cannot just hit with your should cos then the player being tackle just ends up going head over sh..it, although in saying that, a lot of us still hit without wrapping...it's more fun that way and being less than 10 stone in weight and putting a number 8 on his face is always fun!!!

scrums take a lot of pressure, i used to be 16 stone playing rugby soi plaed hooker, i lost 6 stone but continued to play hooker cos our team had no other one, its sore and it takes a lot of impact in there, especially when you are my size

why didn't they test hockey hits as well? guys on skates move WAY faster than a football or rugby player could ever go. what about being crunched into the boards?


oh lets not embarress ourselves, why would they test how figure skaters withs sticks hit eachother??? do they count how many pirouttes they do before they they slap the oppositions bums??
