Rugby has rules against both high tackles and downfield blocking. Violators are sent to what the Brits call the "sin bin" for one or two minutes, which discourages some of the more violent play we see. On the other hand, one version of rugby (Union I believe) seems an interminable slog with one teams possessing the ball forever.
