In Rugby you can only hit the guy with the ball - In the mawls everything is about physical contact. Of course, it's about fighting for the ball, not violence.
In Rugby there are not blindside hits - you've never seen a tackle from the back, while running?
In Rugby there are not head-on, automobile-style collisions - mawls, front tackles, penetrations.
Blocking is not allowed, indeed, but in the mawls, which are kinda the same thing, you can get killed, too, if someone steps with a 1 inch nail and 250 lbs on your chest or head.
Simply compare the amount and seriousness of injuries in pro football to those in rugby and there is a clear difference. - I doubt that. Prove it.
