My question is, how do former Rugby players fare compare to former football players?

I think the padding makes things even worse, players hit harder, thinking that padding gives them protection.

It would be better if they went back to leather helmets.

The league brought it on themselves. They’re the ones that released a “study” in the mid 90s that assured players concussions left no lasting negative effects. They lied to the players about their long term health, and now the players they lied to are suing them.
