2:09 notice how in most clips the teammates run in to block the fighters and suppress the aggression, while those Romanians just take the opportunity to fly the punches like in a proper street brawl.
Rugby players hit as hard as they can within their own limits, nfl players with the padding hit each other as hard as possible because they’re padded up. Same way bare knuckle boxers hit within their hands’ limits.
@@iskrubziii673 sorry, this is a myth, it simply protects from superficial damage to the face and head. Studies and data proves this time and time again. "The padding that lines a helmet is meant to act as a sort of backup plan. In reality, it just doesn’t work that well. What this padding is really good for is protecting against things like face trauma and skull fractures. But studies show that the level of cushioning is not enough to protect against all concussions."
"Football is a gentleman's sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan's sport played by gentlemen." A lad told me this back in the pub one day. I see what he meant there now. Nothing but gentlemen in this video.
Anthropologically speaking this is perfectly acceptable behaviour, you cannot stop inate traits of Homo Sapien, sport took the place of tribal waring, we don't hunt or fight wild beasts anymore, it's an outlet for the primordial needs of the masses, our ancient ancestors would be proud
I remember a SCHOOLBOY international - Scotland vs Wales, I think - that was a non-stop brawl from minute one. Of course, this was the eighties, so nothing was done.....
