I agree with this. I think modern elongated studs don’t give way in the grass. The ligaments give way instead.
I’m sure it’s not a coincidence that Matazo did his within a few minutes of changing his boots because he’d slipped a few times before that.
Players were harder back in the day then would have a pint, stop crying like a bitch and get on with it. Rugby players don’t suffer much with ACL’s, nor do NFL players.
true, just looked theres absolutely zero nfl and rugby players who have had acl injuries so footballers need to have a long hard look at themselves
well of course, the actual truth is rugby and nfl players do get acl injuries as commonly as footballers a knee is a knee
