I played rugby and there is no way I'll let my children play. Spinal injuries from scrum collapses are way too common, and there is a view of scrum being a fundamental part of the sport so they only mitigate it by not pushing in scrum until a certain age, doing 3 against 3 scrums and so on. By the time the boys are 15 they like the game and start playing hard and getting hurt. I'd rather have them row, run, play soccer, surf, and so many other options
