This just popped into my head today and I was curious. Certainly tons of actions that are business as usual in sports would be considered assault in different contexts. What prevents players from suing eachother for injuries and stuff? Curious about both professional levels and recreational/amateur levels, if they’re different.
Also, is there a line where actions outside of the rules (cheap shots, etc.) could be considered assault or something else?

Just as an FYI there are class action lawsuits happening in professional rugby at the moment. Prob similar to the American Football concussion saga.
