i'm just messin with ya too, our guys are pretty tough though, even with the protective gear. we're just now learning about the large amount and severity of concussions for instance. it is a very brutal sport. i think the style of hitting is different from rugby, which may help explain the difference in uniforms. i'm sure our vast # of sports attorneys also helped advance gear requirements.
