Which Is More Dangerous RUGBY OR FOOTBALL?

Most of the players like both Rugby or Football and both the games are very interesting. But as everyone knows that there is a risk in every game, we play but in my thinking Rugby is more dangerous than football because in rugby there is a huge crowd of players on a single-player holding the ball. Most of the rugby players don't wear protective gear, they are at a greater risk for cuts, dental trauma, and broken bones, fractures, and many more accidents. The main reason rugby being more dangerous is that the rugby players don't wear protective gear except for a mouthpiece.

They don't have any type of shield to protect them at the time of the accident. According to researchers, rugby players had the highest risk of being injured during the match. Rugby players suffer 4.6 severe injuries per 100,000 athletes. But football had an average injury rate of 1 per 100,000 athletes. This is the main reason behind rugby being more dangerous. Sometimes, the results of playing rugby rather than football may be violent.

Rugby players suffer more cuts than football players. The most dangerous sport in the world is rugby because it involves hurting other human beings. Rugby is very dangerous because it is supposed to be a very aggressive game. Most people are afraid to play this game and most people like this game very much. One thing that makes rugby so dangerous is tackling because to do good you have to tackle hard. In rugby, you have to be constantly tackling the other team or the other players.
