And here is some more big hit goodness for your viewing pleasure. All made up from rugby league in oz. Oh, the first hit is one of my favourites

YouTube - big hits

edit: here is another good pure rugby union one. YouTube - Here Comes the Boom- Rugby hits

Though I don't know too much about it I enjoy Aussie Rules, the passing thing is a bit naff, but I enjoy the "just do anything you want with the ball " type of idea. They should narrow the posts though - too much scoring makes it a bit tiresome, less scoring would make it more exciting, to me anyway.

On the odd occasion that i do see a bit of a game, im always shouting out forward pass or knock on.

Although they get some good injuries in that game. Like a couple of years ago when some guy landed wrong and he leg bent 90 degrees at the shin

Danger?

As demonstrated here, the only thing more dangerous than (...insert your dangerous sport or pastime of choice here...) is talking about said sport or pastime with a true fan from a different team (or perhaps a different sport...)
