I was watching sports news one night and saw the highlights of the State of Origin first game.  It was played between Queensland and New South Wales.
Rugby is a contact sport and even though I like sports very much, I will never understand and appreciate Rugby.
Blocking, lifting, body slamming and the endless list of actions you can do with your hands, legs and body.  Ouch…
I saw some slow motion of a man being lifted and then slammed to the ground by a defender.  What kind of a sport is this?  Wresting?
To make matter worst, after the game a few players were pushing and shoving.  Ended with both teams boxing on the field.  Offending players should be banned for the rest of the series.  That will teach them a lesson for all the violence and exposure they have on national television.
What a sport eh!  If you are big and/or fast, like getting hurt and can box and wrestle, take up Rugby.  Bare in mind you will look funny with a broken and crook nose, very likely.  ;-)

As for me, with my small and fragile built body, I will stick to easier sport.  Maybe I will take up lawn bowling.  :-)
