He learned the game in a couple weeks, and played with some fuckin team out there. Dont know who they were. He even told them after the game, that football was a tougher sport...but was showin respect to rugby. I would love to watch some Rugby player run accross the middle of the field on a slant pattern with pads....and get lit up by Ray Lewis lol. Lights out. Rugby is nowhere NEAR the mans version of anything lol. Ive watched that shit...and its just one big mess. They dont take the hits that NFL players take.

LOL so your comparing NFL football with a Rugby team in the same league as my local one, that would be like sending Martin Johnson to go play NFL in high school, with him then coming out and saying Rugbys tougher ::). And to say that rugby players don't take hits is bullshit

I have no idea what Rugby team he played with or what level they were...I would have a hard time telling the difference between professional running around and falling down and amateur running around and falling down. The point is, I didnt come out and start dissin Rugby. You came out and decided to take a shot at Football. No matter what...people are people, and they are will only allow a sport to be so dangerous before they decide to take precaution and keep people from getting killed. Thats the reason Football needs pads. Its the reason Hockey needs pads. Etc. If Rugby players were taking hits that required pads....they arent idiots, they would wear pads. In the NFL, without a helmet and pads...you would have at least one paralyzed person per game with the blindside hits they take running at full speed. And world class sprinter speed at that

What? Regardless of whether you know a sport or not, in ALL sports there's a huge gap between top tier teams and local teams. My point is is that to say well he said NFLs tougher cos he trained for a couple weeks with a local team's a horrible example
And your right, each sport has guidelines to ensure safety but that doesn't mean that bad tackles and big hits don't happen, just like how in soccer two-footed tackles are disallowed yet we see them almost every weekend. The main difference between Rugby and NFL is that in NFL it seems to be more about highlight hits whereas Rugbys more about actual tackling, thats why there's no need for heavy padding. But how you can say Rugby's one big mess and easier as there aren't big hits is bullshit.

so ummm, what Rugby player makes over a million a year..?
if it was such a "hands down, better sport", it would be more popular; people in America would run to play that if it was "better".

well first off. What Im saying is...I have no idea what level this Rugby team was that he played with. They could have been a top level type of team or not, i dont know. And Dahani obviously has played in the NFL...in College...and in High School for football. Probably even Pop Warner as a little kid. He didnt say the NFL was tougher. He said football was tougher. He is a starting linebacker on a professional Football team lol He clearly knows how to tackle and is more then likely faster then 90% of rugby players....all while being bigger and stronger as well. Like I said...if Rugby was a brutal enough sport to need pads...they would get them. If you played football without pads...you would have people dying every single year in the NFL no doubt. And if you think the NFL isnt about actual tackling...then you need to educate yourself on the game. No coach in America teaches players how to decapitate another player. They teach them the fundamentals of tackling without paralyzing YOURself even. But with it being such a physical game played at such a fast speed...you are bound to have big hits.
