This isn't stuff I made up. Just do a little research. High impact contact is bad for women, full stop. If they choose to play rugby, good for them but that doesn't change the facts and the specific fact they are 2 times more likely to get a concussion then men playing the same, but bigger, stronger and faster game.

Interesting ... more likely to get concussed in women's hockey or in coed?
I coached girls' hockey for years in Calgary, but my daughter was always at the lowest levels and hitting would clearly be a bad thing.
Always assumed in higher tier non coed levels it would work.
Thanks for sharing.
