This kid is a monster- <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/In2A28neCwY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
the first kid he plays against who knows how to tackle and likes to go for people's ribs will make him quit rugby.
While this is hilarious to watch, this does nothing but hurt the big kid, and the rest of them. When I was a kid, I played up 1-2 years in baseball because of my skill level. Which overall made me a better player as at their skill levels, I wasn't the best - I actually had to try. This is really no different than a 6' tall 11 year old playing against 4'10" kids his same age. He isn't going to get better, he is going to get a rude awakening when the rest catch up to him.
It's bothersome that he goes out of his way to throw his arm and elbow out at kids when there is no reason to.
Like this athlete, I dominated a kid today in pickup basketball. That sixth grader couldn't contain this warrior.
So stats what Rugy looks like. I don't like it(don't like american football either). As someonw who's never seen the sport, seeing him do that to much smaller kids made me feel uneasy. He defintely should be put into a higher level of competition.
Now we're talking. Rugby is a real sport as opposed to the fake tough guy, helmets and pads wearing egg ball.
MANY studies have shown that American Football is far more dangerous... because who would have thought, that having a hard plastic weapon on your head that you ram people with causes major trauma. http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/42/7/595.abstract http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/concussion/is-rugby-or-american-football-more-dangerous/
Right...and the giant 8 year old kid is going out of his way to deliver this unneeded move to kids less than half his size.

Yeah, there was at least once where it looked like he literally changed directions just so he could shove one more kid to the ground before turning back toward the goal line (or whatever they call it in Rugby).
