mate, iīm going to have to repeat djflish... you havenīt seen a rugby match.
toughest sports...
Rugby - full body contact, no protective armour, no helmets - rucks, mauls and scrums... take a look.
Hockey - fast and theyīve got weapons. and fighting seems to be encouraged.
American Football - sure they run at each other, but with all of that armour, all of those breaks in play, and millions of players, imo, it isnīt as tough as rugby, or hockey.

I hit you full out with football equipment on, I get up. I hit you full out with a rugby shirt on, I get up with a separated shoulder.
I've watched rugby, I'd love to have it be popular here because it's my kind of sport, slightly slower than football and it plays much more to my strengths so I could grab people and throw them around. But is it rougher? Well, if you play it like football, of course it's rougher because you're a moron playing football without pads. If you play it like rugby, then no, it's not.
Think I'm wrong? Watch the Eagles Brian Dawkins. Watch Ray Lewis. The pads doesn't make it any wussier, it enables the opposing people to actually get up.
With your argument about rugby being so rough, then basketball is higher than football because of Malone's elbows and O'Neal's fat ass.

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!"
