Schibulsky,
I was not comparing toughness or otherwise, my point is that the games cannot be compared, totally different. The guy only got a
"pop" because I had a lapse of concentration and reverted to game I had played for 10 years. The tackling skills, and technical skills are different, its like comparing rugby to football (soccer).
Ironically some time later, I played Aussie rules, after my team had played the Aussie american football team, and the stamina required for that game is quite incredible,, I needed oxygen tent after 60 mins
