I agree with sacamuelas and RL as well. I played rugby in college and it doesn't matter what the situation is during the game, your job is to win as long as time is rolling. If the other team is hurting or if they're scared of being hurt, it's just that much easier. Sportsmanship comes into it when you can hang out after the game and buy a beer for the guy whose nose you broke earlier in the day. Safety is important, but you don't play a "mean" sport and get surprised when folks get hurt. in my opinion, all of the stupid whining when players don't agree with calls, showboating, spiking the ball, "easy downs", etc. is less sportsmanlike than playing to win.
