The fact that Rugby in both codes is a high impact game sees people getting hurt in every game played. It is the seriousness of these injuries that makes the difference. Most players take a "bump" in a game and play within 5 days again
There are no specific central records of the injury could associated with either codes. However, the NRL and IRB do monitor professional injuries feeding back that data to sports science technical staff and health and safety adviser's.
However, due to the very nature of the game there are injuries in every match played its the severity of the injury which varies.

People don't actually die from being paralyzed. Whatever caused someone to be paralyzed could also kill him or her, but paralysis itself cannot cause someone to die. Plenty of people have been paralyzed from various injuries and infections and continue to live productive lives. Perhaps you meant to ask how many people die from an illness or injury that originally had paralyzed them?
Not much, if it did get a high rate, they would of band rugby in Australia

he started playing at school at the age of 10 he is 29 (2011) therefore he played 19 years

Gordon D'Arcy
No definite answer to that. The problem isn't with breaking the vertebrae, the problem is if you damage the nerves, the spinal cord that runs through the vertebrae. A bad spinal cord injury will make you paralyzed.
Well there can be a few answers to this if you mean when was he born that was 1973. If you mean when did he start playing rugby that was in 1990.
