Wellington - A New Zealand coroner yesterday condemned a "perilous" rugby-inspired sport in which competitors sprint and crash into each other without protective gear.
"Runit" competitors line up 20-metre apart and run directly at each other, with the winner being the person who "dominates the collision".
Coroner Bruce Hesketh issued the warning as a separate comment in his report into a club player who died after being tackled in a traditional rugby league game.
The Australian-based Runit Championship League set up a base in New Zealand this year.
