Ach I'm glad England are doing well. Frankly I'm still commiserating Scotland's performance in Football against Holland. Christ that was a mess...

the reason why rugby players don't wear pads is beacuse there aren't any 300lb lineman jumping on you

[color=66ff00]*comedy note; Maeglamor does not watch rugby or gridiron and thus is making a blind statement with only jest in mind*

Umm, yes there are. Have you ever played rugby? Even at under 16 level there are a good few monsters of a player on the go. Myself included (though i don't play under16 anymore, ofcourse)

you think i was being serious?  I don't know the roster limitations in rugby, but in football you are allowed 53 men on a team and you need to keep them intact through the season (4 preseason + 16 regular season + 4 post season).  Its not uncommon to get torn tendons and broken bones and that puts people out for the season.  thats with pads and such.  if they didn't wear pads then the season would last like two weeks before everyone is incapacitated
