To watch Johnny Wilkinson play on with 14 stiches in his mouth and get up and go at the opponents , do any of you agree that a comparison to him and the prima donnas of football who roll about if you breathe on them should be yellow carded, the punishment he took and showed what Being there for the team meant, an inspiration to all, get up Sir Johnnie you are a star.

Love the question. I have always said that football is a game for overpaid prima donas.
All hail to Wilko, who has not kicked a ball for England for a couple of years, and has suffered some of the worst injuries imaginable. Yet he played on to score a record for his side.
The day will come when footballers will be filing for damages against opponents looking at them in a funny colour.
Pro footballers should get real. And turn out an honest days work for an extortianate wage.

Theres no doubt that the rugby players are subject to more brute force and physical abuse, but one should also consider the fact that there are strategic advantages to be had by faking a fall in football.

Although rugby is far more physical, the thrashing around legs, knees and ankles in football causes far more injuries. Rugby players expect the contact and brace themselves for it.
