The pads allow the players to collide at much higher speeds.
Austraillians look at pads and are like. "pads are for gurly men"
When in fact it is physically impossible for Rugby players to hit each other with that much force without them.
So they can never truly play full throttle......or they would have to keep a plastic surgeon in the training room.
