Rugby vs American Football

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

yeah Football all the way. if i said it once i've said it a MILLION times already.  just LET them put a defense from the NFL in the rugby leagues and it's OVER , the rugby squad would be down to their 4th string players. remember there's a reason why there's padding in the NFL.

lol @ saying an NFL defense would destory a rugby team.. honestly though have you ever watched a proper game of rugby? im confident ive seen more nfl games compared to yanks watching rugby.. they are both different games with very different rules the only thing they have in common is that in both sports you get to hitt players hard.. so saying that an nfl defensive line up would take down a rugby team is a stupid comment

do you realize that there would be 1 death per game if there was no padding in football?

yeh i wont knock the fact that pads and helmets do save a person serious injuries from very big hits.. i aint got no problem with the nfl and agree that you's do have monster players in your leagues that would crush 90% of people.. i just dont agree how some people down grade the physicallity of rugby compared to nfl, and try and make it sound less a sport.. so by someone saying that a defensive line could end a rugby team is a poor statement when they dont know a great deal about the game, just because some players may not look as big their counterparts in your sport doesnt mean that they cant take or inflict an extremely hard tackle.

here's your problem you're ASSUMING my intellegence about rugby and jump to the conclusion that i'm ignorant ...therfore making your view "RIGHT"


well i'm going to break it down for you


these are line BACKERS...not even the nastiest people on the field but somewhere in the middle





okay that's the line BEHIND the LINE of these guys







it's over!

then nevermind you got these dude's on the wing and in the back field

Rugby players are closer to basketball players in physique...

[Don Jacob]

runing back or full backs is more like it i think.

[swangin and bangin]

rugbys cool but football is better

LOL...first it was "rugby players are just as big", now its "football players are bigger because of the steriods".

i've never said that,you are very confused (about the first part)

If i had to compare, id have to say American Football is like Chess.....whereas Rugby is like taking the Chess pieces and just running them into eachother...

did you even read my post? i simplely said that your comment was an ignorant one, not that you were ignorant minded.. for one size aint everything son.. your argument is flawed, your example of rugby players aint great, theres a grip of players that are just as big as some of the nfl players you posted up.. i can list them for you if you want to personally check them up

they are both tough, but the edge has to for sure go to rugby....have you seen a fuckin pro rugby game?  theyll bust thier skull and come back into the game with a towel wrapped around thier head to stop the bleeding.

does anybody remember that player from the south pacific that was being perused by an NFL team a while back?...i forgot the fucken name...it will come to me though.
