@chelseaFC514 Of course the helmets protect better. The difference is the mentality of the players. In rugby your taught from the start certain techniques that lessen the chance of injury. American footballers lead with the head as a tactic. If they used the same precautions as rugby players the concussions would be near non existent.

@pillowbugg They've tested dozens of players on sports science. The fastest they had was 19.5 mph. The slowest Ive seen was ndamukong suh at 13.5 mph. That's in pads so still impressive. To make the England Rugby 7's team you have to do at least better than 18.5mph, they've got 2 players that have gotten up around the 24mph mark. Just pointing out that rugby players arnt exactly slow.

@aztechuhs: Actually the risk of concussion is less in rugby than in American football (Incidence of concussion in contact sports: a systematic review of the evidence BRAIN INJURY, VOL. 17, NO. 10 (OCTOBER 2003), 901–917). The authors hypothesized that players that wear protective equipment may rely too heavily on the equipment, and/or the protective equipment is not properly worn. One would logically think that helmets protect better, but research shows otherwise.
