If one thing stands out in both codes of rugby is everyone gets battered and just gets back up and gets on with it, footballers falling over with a tug on the shirt, contact felt so he had good cause to go down, you limp and will be out for six weeks.
Watch dippers v spuds this afternoon for plenty of examples.
I love my football and only watch rugby now and again but footballers verge on ridiculous, if you tackle these days you either get booked or a retrospective ban.
Not a VAR this morning and respect for the ref and each other impressive even with a few spats, football's gone soft in front of our eye's, cleansed to a non contact sport without us realising.
Blinking heck that went on longer than I meant, almost drifted off course I forgot what I wanted to say.
