That is my whole point.....The only reason you see the helmet-to-helmet contact is because the idiots use the helmet as a weapon....the rugby players know better than to stick their noggin where it shouldn't ought to be.....and shoulder pads were designed as weapons in the first place, not to protect......the only thing that threatens a players shoulders with serious hurt are the helmets and someone else having shoulder pads....and they are not pads, they are armor.....thigh pads are pads....
