>Why would you need body armor playing football? Even Rugby is played with out protective equipment. Now to be a good Rugby player it helps to have no teeth. That allows you to run faster and bang your head into an opponent without fear of loosing anything other than your brain. By the way my brother played Rugby when he was younger. The good old days and all that. :)

I think the ugliest thing that happens to rugby players is the cauliflower ear.
