Rugby is popular sport in England. Many injuries are seen in this game. It was born in the 1800s when safety was far less of a concern. Doctors say not to do tackling in Rugby as children playing in schools are getting injured. Many parents have agreed with the doctor while some do not. Though the players know that they will get hurt, they still play the game. However, about 80 Rugby World Cup winners jointly claimed to reduce tackling in the game to stop growing number of brain injuries.
