A member asked:
Which sport is healthier; do you prefer soccer or rugby?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Soccer: While you can injured in both and there is occasionally some contact in soccer, rugby is by nature a contact sport. Nothing against rugby, but its a bit riskier in my opinion.

Soccer or rugby.: While both would give you quite a cardiovascular work-out, you may be more susceptible to injury playing rugby.
