It's like a neverending story,but i'd like to know what's your thoughts about it.
For the american people "rugby is gay" and is for those who can't make it to the Nfl.....i prefer the rugby not because i'm european but 'cause i think it's more heavy as a sport. The Nfl players play with a fuckin helmet on their head,the rugby players go out from the field with stitches all over the head/face....WHO'S GAY ? ::)

LOL@rugby

LOL@rugby
you are american i guess ::)

I'd say Rugby is the more manly sport...not sayin "American Rugby" is a sissy sport by no means...dem Rugby boys dont play...look at the size of them guys its a joke...The NFL defintly has a bigger market for promotion though and is far more lucrative than any of the Rugby governing bodies
imo both borin ass sports....no flow to the game...they both stop like every 10 seconds...watched a bit of NFL last night sayin that...didnt watch the whole game jst wanted to see what the fuss was about
-
Rugby Is My New Obsession. I keep my TV on Setanta Sports and I watch every league and game when I can, European and Australian.
And Im American.

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.

DOPING is legal in the Nfl,and the players are bigger just thanks to the fuckin steroids.

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

It might be an exaggeration, but there would definitely be plent of deaths...

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.

Rugby is a poor man's football.

Rugby players are closer to basketball players in physique...
-
runing back or full backs is more like it i think.
-
rugbys cool but football is better

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. ???

Rugby >>>Football
Football is fucking boring. it actually stops every 30 sec and basically all size orientiated
-
well livin in australia, i've grown up watchin n playin rugby. but i like both sports. each has its own pro's n cons. both are dope imo
-
basically all size orientiated
I'm not the biggest football fan, but that was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard...
-
Obviously, if one of those Rugby players went heads with Urlacher, it would be safe to say Urlacher would come out on top. It's not to take anything away from the Rugby cats, but even without pads, Urlacher would demolish these dudes.

It might be an exaggeration, but there would definitely be plent of deaths...
Do you realize you're full of shit.
With all these flashy protections over the body this sport may sound nice for Tv lol but all the true niggas out there know Rugby is the real deal ....you amerikkan clowns.
Amerikkkan football is fucking gay, no action whatsoever.
It's like baseball what a joke you'll never ever see this round here it's so obvious.
I don't even talk about drug comsumption bcoz it a proven fact.
Anyway like i always say keep your trash sport within your boundraries and it's all good with me.
and keep trying exporting it the way you want...it still will be a trash sport for syssies Big Time
Now give me an helmet so i can have some fun onto an amerikkkkan football field lol.
I'll clean up the house w/o problems

Dumber then this?
do you realize that there would be 1 death per game if there was no padding in football?
Correct me if I'm wrong but arn't blockers in the team for the sole purpose off using there size to protect the quarter back? There ain't no tackle technique needed as you can basically do anything to bring a guy down

LMAO!!!
there is no tackleing technque?
LMAO!!!
that has to be the dumbest quote in the thread
put some pads on son, and see if you can bring a guy running at you with his shoulder lowered and see if u can tackle him without technique.
-
well if i was as big as the players i could, but what i mean to say is you can trip, elbow sholder anything to bring him down which makes it easier then have rules such as can't tackle above the sholders etc
-

take off those pads and try take someone down with there shoulder lowered. its called rugby league.
also everyone on the field has to tackle and get hit in rugby, you cant hide like you can in the NFL.
and more tackles are laid in rugby, look at these stats...
NRL top 5 RND 19 2007 (17 matches)
673 Craig Fitzgibbon
616 Micheal Luck
577 Lincoln Withers
571 Craig Wing
563 Danny Nutley
