[QUOTE="Crash Hamster, post: 1120361, member: 84693"] As the only way to prevent rugby injuries is to ban rugby, I think it's really important that the decision isn't left in the hands of absolutists. This then means a discussion about what degree of damage is acceptable, followed by what steps could be taken to achieve this. Personally, I suspect that speeding the game up would give the best results. Make the fat lads run around more; momentum is mass x velocity, so reducing the mass reduces the impact. I doubt that forwards would get quicker, just as quick for longer. [/QUOTE]
