I did not mean the game rules it's self, I mean like the players to play the game the skill involved any 17 stone monkey can catch a ball and run and knock people out there way, but ask the monkey to dribble a ball past 4 defenders and chip the keeper and score a goal.
The above is Not a good example like :0) But you catch me drift, you cant compare Johnny Wilkinson to Pele really can you ?
lol, I still dont agree. Though things are changing. you will find more degree students playing Rugby union than football.
and traditionally the best sport in the world, to get hurt playing, was rugby. because if someone asked "is there a doctor here" more than half the players would say "YES" and put their hands up. (this is still. largely, true at the amateur level.)
I do see your point on the Wilkinson Pele comment.
but that does not change my view.
because you would need to compare someone like Beckham and Wilkinson.
then the line become less clear.
but i do maintain you need a higher level of "general" intelligence to play Rugby Union than football.
I'd better comment on the "topic". lol.
It was an awful tackle. but that's just what it was.
a tackle that went wrong.
from an independent stand point, I saw nothing malicious.
i note it seemed the perpetrator tried to pull out (though too late its true)
was it a "Red Card" moment?
to me, probably not.
does it deserve further action?
again NO.
