The Big Hits

In the build up to the Rugby World Cup this September, I'm going to write a regular feature on why you should make time to watch this brilliant tournament.

Not many people realise just how physical the game of Rugby is. Rugby players make devastating tackles on each other, they play without pads and they have bigger fights then any other sport. It's not uncommon to see two guys taking lumps out of each other with their fists only for both of them to be warned and then left to carry on playing.

The clip below isn't the best for pure hits but it does some up the drama of the sport perfectly. Stick with it 'til the end though and you'll see some nice juicy bone breakers that should satisfy your appetite for hits. And if you want to see more then just slap 'Rugby Hits' into You Tube.

How many times do I need to say this; If you like Football then you'll love Rugby. Are you convinced yet?
