Rugby isn't a true CONTACT sport. It's violent to all hell, definately, but compared to football it's just different.
Contact in this case meaning guys running flat out into each other time after time. Rugby has alot of grabbing and such, followed by takedowns, which makes it violent, but not it's contact in the sense which I described it.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
