Z As has been said 'soccer is a gentleman's game played by ruffians and rugby is a ruffians game played by gentleman. As far as your description of rugby players it is painfully accurate. I have the unique distinction, for a prop, of not losing any of my front teeth. However I had 4 broken in the back, in sequence, when I got kicked at a really odd angle by strangely enough a dentist. I always thought he was looking for business. Stitches however were another matter. Those I got on numerous occasions, frequently right on the sidelines. I consider myself lucky. I was actually in a game where someone had a piece of his ear bitten off. The guy who got bit and the guy, we think, did it were both lawyers. Something poetic in that. As far as looking like one of the guys from Braveheart, I've cleaned up my act in recent years ;) I was just talking to a friend yesterday about joining a club for over 40s....
