Bizarre.
I told you people were stopping their kids playing it for fear of serious head injury. I told you my rugby playing mate was too. Another poster who teaches in a famed rugby school said the amount of injuries was shocking and he’d stop his kids playing too.
You dismiss this as anecdotal and said it wasn’t true and doesnt count because ‘mini rugby is thriving…’ apparently.
You’re ignoring all the studies and news reports about brain injury in ex players and have found some study of womens football. Would you not look at the huge data set of professional mens football for the last 20 years? Same sex, same time period? Kind of like for like you know?

And I pointed out that this statement was untrue;

Indeed. Its just a pity less and less parents are letting their kids play cos they are worried about the possibility of injury…

That should have been the end of it but you decided to lean in with your anecdote.

You followed that up with shite about concussions. I pointed out your shit on that but let’s go back to your original point. You can say “bizarre” all you like but you can’t hide here.
