OT: Tough sport?

[Growltigger]

I agree wit David G, F1 is tough which explains why all the drivers are so highly paid, and whippet thin.

I also agree with Dogscoff, Shinty and Aussie Rules Football are "hard" games, as is lacrosse. I think in Aussie rules however a lot of the hardness comes from having to cope with all the fights one is expected (note: expected!) to get involved in!

Rugby Union is a hard game by any standards, though probabl not the hardest. Rugby League is harder, I played one game of that and decided I would rather go down the local pub frequented by squaddies and call them a bunch of pillow biters instead - it would probably hurt less.

One thing I will say is that although I do like it, football (ie soccer) is not a hard game, not at all. Nor is American Football (with that body armour).
