To think sport comes with an element of danger (Rugby)

[DadKeepsCalm1]

In the news today, a group of 70 doctors have written to the government to make rugby a non contact sport at high school.

Although a rougher sport, it really is not that dangerous with the proper equipment and professional supervision.

Also how are we supposed to find new talent, if people are not trained to play proper rugby.

My dss is 16 and plays rugby for his school and its by far my favourite sport. I love watching him play and it would be ashame if the game was spoiled.

My daughter is in great 8 and the girls are now playing rugby in PE. She hates it but there is no choice. 3 girls had minor injuries today and dd couldn't do swimming of netball last week (sports she enjoys) because she hurt her knees when being tackled. I find myself hoping it will rain as the sports teachers seem to move sport indoors then.
