or forgot it.. that your son played Rugby.

My grandson, living in England, is playing Rugby for the first time this year. They began practice a couple of weeks ago with the intention of their being 'no tackling', (he's 10), but after their first scrimmage the league re-thought it and now there is tackling.

I know next to nothing about Rugby... but I used to watch it quite a bit back before DirecTV when I had C-Band Satellite, (think short wave radio for TV). I used to watch all types of sports from around the world... got really into some of them. Rugby fascinated me but for whatever reason I never really got motivated to learn the rules... but I am today, with my grandson playing - JamesJM

  IMO, HELMETS are the blame for head contact.
