ball games are gay, nuff said. no one will respect muscular assholes running around hurting eachother you can all get fucked.. have fun tackling eachother retards...
i played american football for my whole life and i just picked up rugby this past year. i'm kind of tired of seeing all of the fans of both sports talk shit to one another. I love both sports. football has harder hits and you feel invincible in those pads. rugby is a ton of fun but it feels more dangerous because it is body to body. each sport has it's incredible athletes. some rugby guys could play football and vice versa. lets see Jonah Lomu vs. Ray Lewis or Bryan Habana vs. Devin Hester.
I don't think Rugby players know what it feels like to be hit by a 245 lb linebacker. A hit from someone that big running at 12 mph will distribute about 900 lbs of force on average. Try getting lit up like that almost every single play. And half the time rugby players get hit, its in their hip/stomach area, the most common areas for contact in American Football are the high torso and shoulders, two very vulnerable areas, Please just accept defeat all you Rugby players.
@ibuckeyenation33 except for the fact that it's not vulnerable at all due to the pads. And the heaviest guy on NZ weighed a little over 245, he's going to be faster because he's more athletic and has more momentum from lesser weight because of no pads. Have that flying into you're stomach and having to get back up to ruck and tell me that footballs harder.
Julokaibre, adrian Peterson isn't a very good example even though he grew up about 20 min from where I live I can't help but like the fact that you would use him as an example ;), Ray lewis is past his prime and doing the unthinkable for crying out loud the guy beat a murder charge at a strip club haha, But he is in fact a member of BSHU so you have to show respect. I would like to see someone do that to SUH he's insane.
LIPOs60001, would love to see Adrian Peterson, run straight at Sonny Bill Williams. Put my house on it that Peterson will never know what hit him. As for Ray Lewis, there are thousands of die yards in Southern Rugby that will run straight at him, all day. That's the mentality of the game in the south.
Adrian Peterson takes on people much bigger, stronger, and faster than SBW every day. SBW is the size of many NFL Wide Receivers, but slower. And I guarantee you AP is stronger and MUCH faster than SBW.
lol i would love to see rugby guys talk shit to ray lewis, They have to wear pads because they will die most guys still get horrible injuries even wearing pads. Look up the lockout for the NFL and see what happened to guys that didn't get paid for medical bills or insurance after they were done with teams.
@LIPOs6S0001 the reason theres so many "terrible injuries" to these guys is cuase they are pussies to begin with, put any of them on a rugby pitch and see what happens. Take your NFL all stars and put them against the All Blacks, the Americans would get rippes apart
@seanarneriise69 That's apples and oranges all i'm saying is people who watch rugby don't have respect for NFL players or how hard they hit, I actually like both sports, As far as rugby stars vs NFL stars I would love to see that, because NFL guys would hit harder just knowing people are watching so it would be great IMO make it happen!
@LIPOs6S0001 it has nothing to do with the hits it all has to do with the fact that Football players are complete fucktards and lead with their head, that's their own damn fault. Has nothing to do with the power of the hit just the quality of the hit, unfortunately for football players their technique is complete shit.
@QuinneyBoyz I guess you don't watch football they don't lead with their heads they drop their head and lead with their shoulder, as far as technique that is the game the game is football do you know what football is? Do you play or even throw one around and play tackle football with friends or in High school as a kid? Were you a Quarterback and running back? or better yet special teams Yea maybe you held the ball no? O then I don't think you should talk about technique. :D
@LIPOs6S0001 played football since I was eight up until junior year in HS, no they don't purposely lead with their head but how many tackles end up with the guy going in head down right into the guys shoulder pads? Quite a lot, the majority of rugby tackles though are in the thigh to stomach section, face up and leading with the shoulder. That sir is technique.
@LIPOs6S0001 played football longer than I have rugby, that's how easy it is to understand rugby's tougher, it's super easy to criticize what you've never played and probably never will. Maybe you should play a nonstop game, with no pads, constantly getting kneed in various body section in rucks and STFU.
@LIPOs6S0001 im disagreeing big time, only different to this and rugby tackles back in 2003 american footballers barge and dont grab on but but rugby can grab them pick them up and chuck them onto the floor but no shots to the neck
@SAMMYCOisDAVE They cannot chug them into the floor in either Union or League, if you pick them up you have to bring them back to the ground in a way that will not inure their neck or back.
@LIPOs6S0001 lmfao...you have no idea what you are talkin about bro... And i bet you most pro rugby players will talk shit to ray lewis. Id rather see lewis' old as get on a rugby field for 80 minutes, without all his pads.
Football is a mediocre rip off Rugby. Where are the sisi pads in Rugby? You showed only the Haka... That is an easy way to show how football is better.
If you're American like me, then you need to watch and get to know the game of Rugby, why? It fits our fighting nature better than football. Im a die hard football fanatic, War Eagle and the Saints are my colors, but believe me when you watch a game of top pro rugby, like New Zealand v Australia in Sydney, it is unbelievable! For those who continue this notion of one sport is superior, has a couch potato mentality. Love em both, get to know both games and you'll realize, it's much of a much,
Ok seriously people, wake up. It's obvious if you grew up in your home country you would like your countries sport more then others. Its our nature. Im aussie, and i love Rugby more then NFL. Just like a majority of Americans love NFL more then Rugby.
@shakethegame, I played football, I watch football, oh maybe because I'm an American living in, wait for it, the USA. So I know probably alot more than your one eyed arrogant ass. You say football is a chess game, I agree, rugby is like chess on speed. Travel to New Zealand or South Africa and watch the Super Rugby down there, it's amazing. I was arrogant and one eyed like you dude, so I still have hope for you to take that eye patch off and see real rugby. Your comment suggests that you know s
@Julokaibre Ok, since im so "One-eyed", then there's no need to argue, right? Rugby is a mediocre version of football, not bad but not so good either. Im leaving it at that.
Comment below simply has no idea about rugby, how it's played and then decides to comment about the inferiority of rugby to football. Travel a little bit sunshine, you might learn something other than 3 and out plays and microwave dinners
@Julokaibre No idea about Rugby? Please. I know alot about your disorganized ass game, but you probably dont know shit about football, now do you? As a football player myself, I can tell you that football is more than simple running around for TD's and what-not. Football is like a game of chess. You have to outsmart the opposing team. Thats what "play-calling" is all about. Whereas rugby is just alot of dudes running and tossing eachother the ball trying to get a "try". No organization at all...
First off, we have pads because we hit 10 x harder than rugby players do (For comment below). Second, rugby isn't anywhere near as organized as American football is. Its a whole buncha dudes running around, diving for "tries" and tossing the ball around, while American football has QB's, RB's, WR's, etc. Third, from what I have seen, these dudes are literally running into eachother. Arent you trying to score, and you're going to run into the defender? WTF?
@shakethegame23 you are a fucking idiot thats never played rugby if you think american footballers 'hit' harder than rugby players... both hit as hard as the player can to achieve territorial advance in the game. so there it depends on the player how hard they hit, just rugby players are tough and can handle the pain of being hit.
"Both hit as hard as the player can to achieve territorial advance in the game"
Exactly my point. Because they don't have pads, Rugby players dont hit as hard as football players to get farther on the feild. Football players actually do hit hard to get farther. For the pain of being hit, anyone can handle it. We only have pads to hear the sound of that hit. Besides, ya dont see those type of hits in the video at a Rugby game, now do ya?
tests were done on rugby players and football players and it turns about that the adverage rugby player runs about 8 miles during a game and the adverage football player only runs about half a mile in a game, this shows that rugby demands must more physical fitness and stamina. and also rugby also involves much more skill for example when you tackle in rugby you need skill and power but in football you just throw yourself at the other person. Rugby is better than football period.
@TheTimtam97 Rugby contains skinnier people. That why players are smaller. No one compared any physical fitness or stamina. American football is better and more popular than rugby.
Football players have so much of an ego, especially at high school level. Practically the fourth string water boy thinks hes hot shit cuz he wears the jersey to school on game days. Rugby is the best sport in the world, debateably.
@zolomasta1969 you seem quite envious of the people who participate in "America's passion and favorite sport". Also, you exibit hostility toward them in your generalizations of the players. You seem threatened and intimidated, but considering you support a game which in the US, is no more popular than Bowling, and who's participants are generally 4th-5th tier athletes, it's understadable.
@Dimitri0809 so you a soccer pussy probably weighing 130 lb is going to wipe the floor with someone even though you probably aren't strong enough to actually wipe the floor with a rag
I grew up playing tackle football on paved streets & in parks with no pads/helmets before playing in local leagues. Many NFL players do this sort of thing growing up. This was 10x the roughness rugby. AF routinely has more piercing, blind side & harder angle of attack hits at full bore (all defensive backs sole & inherent reason for existence) than any rules rugby. Helmets/pads mandated, because people died & the U.S. government threatened to ban it otherwise. Research 1905 Pres. Roosevelt!
it's not about the big hits, its about; the no. countries that play the sport, the no. people who play the sport and how it's played, i mean rugby is one of the most popular sports in the world and it is played in the USA, american footabll is only played by north America.
@TwangerX Not true, Japan, Sweden, Germany, South Korea, Italy, Australia, Austria, Finland, and France all have an International American Football Team. Japan's Team is notoriously good if you don't consider the American team lol. Japan loves American Football. Look this stuff up before you comment aha.
@Christianmarquez As long as American Football doesn't have a world-cup, inter-continental championships, and national leagues all over the world, you have no claim for it being more popular.
@Christianmarquez Japan only have interest in American sports since you haven't left the poor fuckers country alone since you movie in after WW2......otherwise they would be like the rest of the world and not give a fuck....
Also other countrys having national teams means nothing if they don't have a professional Football league in that country obviously...
@ULTCrob You seem to be lacking in exposure, perspective, and facts. AF players are generally bigger than Rugby players, AF is also followed by hundreds of millions, and played by millions as well. The stupidest point you made was about money! The NFL alone, generates nearly $9.5 Billiion per year NCAA FB generates as much or more.
@bebomac5 those hundreds of millions are all from America (Some from Japan). Rugby is watched and played by millions in England, Australia, South Africa, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and many many more.
@bebomac5 and what? There is nothing more to say. I am just stating that all the American Football viewers come from one country while Rugby gets coverage everywhere. Also note before replying that I respect both sports and don't wish to get tangled into a debate. I already have to prepare for the debate tomorrow about the NY Giants and how bad they did tonight
@indiansoccerfan10 Still don't get your point, and considering that there are more people in the US. than the top 11-12 Rugby nations combined, who cares? In fact, there are many AF fans who are insulted that others want to "share" the sport.
@bebomac5 Do all Americans love football? You have a growing population interested in soccer. The numbers are about the same bro, both over 300 000 000. American football evolved from rugby, a fact few recognize.
@llewellleo Not all Americans love FB, but most do. In the pecking order of popular American sports, Sccr is way down the list. Interest in Sccr has been soposedly "growing" for 30 years, it's still the realm of young girls and small children, who eventually grow ot of it once they start playing Baseball, Bsktball, and AF. You Never see Sccr on tv, accept for on obscure channels at obscure times. High school FB games have millions more viewers than any Sccr match. watch?v=3jKlupQpBqg
@llewellleo I know it's hard for you to comprehend, but it would take 8-10 decades for Soccer to even think about reaching the level of passion, popularity, and devotion enjoyed by Baseball and Basketball. Take that Passion etc., multiply it by a million..or 2, and it still won't match the absolute obsession we have with AF. For many, it is religion. Entire communities and cities are based around their Football team. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.
@llewellleo Relatively few Americans have any interest in Soccer, it has very little presence in our massive sports culture, dispite being played in virtually evey school in the US, but then again so is volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics, and cheerleading, which is by far more popular than Sccr. Soccer will NEVER!! be a major sport in the USA. watch?v=ahsAN9HB7ho , watch?v=4FriM3TOGKg , watch?v=pXfkeB09vso , watch?v=w0hKL2qw4vA , watch?v=GqmYrsfpI6Y . I love J. Rome.
@bebomac5 You have more official soccer players than any country in the world, 18 000 000 so to say relatively few Americans have interest in the sport is doing what you accused me of doing, not checking your facts. Im not going to call you an idiot, wont be so juvenile but to be fair American Football is at the tops for the time being.
@llewellleo You do know there are 308 million ppl here, don't you? As I've said Soccer is the realm of children. Like Volleyball, Baseball, Wrestling, Gymnastics, Football, Cheerleading, Field Hockey, Softball, Track & Field, etc. it is played in almost every one of America's 125,000 high schools, and 8000 colleges, and counless youth programs. There are 40 million baseball players, far more than AF, yet AF is the undisputed king of American sportsSoccer is "Nothing" here.
@llewellleo I have 12 24/7 sports networks, on American tv you can watch all of them, non stop for a week, and maybe see 2-5 references to Soccer..maybe. Ask any American, they'll tell you the same. Unless you make an effort to see it, you won't see it. USA sports participation: Basketball 53 million, Baseball 40 million, Bowling 43 million, Volleyball 50 million. As I said, "relatively few!" AF 4.5 million (THE KING!)
@llewellleo Btw, AF is derived as much from Soccer as it is Rugby, as well as various forms of "Mob Football". At least do alittle checking into the actual history before commenting, and exposing yourself as an idiot.
@bebomac5 You sure love bashing but dont be silly now. Im well aware of the history of soccer, rugby and American football and played it a couple of times, love it and its truelly not so hard to see rugby and as you correctly soccer at its base. Americans recreated these sports and made it truelly and uniquely American, something to be proud of.
You say nfl use military style tactics for their games... Etc.... Judging by the way your military is going they might want to find some new tactics.... No offence!
@supersaiyanMK2 - IT'S STILL LESS OF AN IMPACT THAN FOOTBALL. So technically rugby is a safer sport. Pads and helmets came in because there were so many injuries and deaths from football every year (12 - 16 Deaths yearly). I'm pretty sure, when you start having players die in rugby games, those helmets will start to come around.
@TheVegaschamp ok man if i was wearing a suit in a game of rugby the game would change, well rugby is more realistic then american football because were not born with a helmet and padding and whats next a iron man suit lol, only in america i gess, well both games are hard men game and we can agree that there not gay like soccer, but a raw toughness is no padding rugby baby thats the game
@supersaiyanMK2 - Your just plain retarded, Some rugby players maybe able to take some Football hits but I guarantee you, these guys will call in mercy for the game is absolutely different and the hits are far harder than rugby (If the Rugby player does die first from the impact). You sound like a 12 year old and I'm pretty sure you are. Tell your mom to stop sucking on your neighbors dick and try to teach you some math and physics so your comments can at least sound logical. Thanks!
@TheVegaschamp what ever dude, rugby is true raw toughness we were not born wearing a helmet and padding plus rugby is a true international sport with teams of equal strength, i know the hits are hard playing NFL but take the padding off and play a game of rugby and your feel the hits the way it is surpose to be true raw toughness plus the game play is slow and boring in NFL compared to rugbys sport play which keeps you on the edge of your seat tactical fast and hard baby need i say more
@supersaiyanMK2 NFL is all out speed for every down all game long. Rugby is not fast nor tactical. It's tossing a ball and hoping an opening breaks loose. Football is actually played more often without pads, than with pads, as only the "organized teams" use pads. the majority of football play is not this "organized play", we still just as hard with pads as without. ya'll wouldn't know "toughness" if it hit you in the face. Playing in gear, hitting that hard, in 110 degree heat is true toughness.
@BodybuildinginTX haha NFL always stoping to have a break to set up plays unlike fast moving think on the run more brains, rugby is played all over the world baby and i live in the tropics with high humidity so dont fool yourself buddy i know what its like to play in the heat i dont see NFL being played without pads or helmet on t.v or so on any competitive or professional level so in that senario of no pads it just be a bunch of amatures playing in the park, rugby played at pro level no pads,
@supersaiyanMK2 Pads are required because of the large amount of people becoming paralyzed due to the hits and several deaths. When yall can hit like we do, then America will take it seriously. Please, think on the run? You give them far too much credit, they toss a ball around and cross their fingers and hope that the defense will make a mistake. It takes far more brains to learn all the defenses, your offenses, and the plays associated with each one. Helmets fly off all the time...
@supersaiyanMK2 You do know that the NFL is a league and not a sport don't you? Anyway.. Here's the thing, we know what it feels like to play/hit without helmet & pads: watch?v=igaOBAw5D-I , and all college & pro teams practice with and without pads. You have no clue how it feels to be "blasted" in full gear. I promise, you have "never" felt an impact so brutal. Playing Rugby/AF without H&P's is "child's play". Btw, when Rugby is played in freezing ice and snow you can talk about toughness.
@bebomac5 lol the whole world dosent revolve around the US buddy rugby is a world sport played all temperatures and is the 3rd biggest sport in the world, now rugby is a much faster more intelligent tactical game were you have use your set plays on the move, i seen a game of american football its very slow compared to rugby with all the breaks to set up a play no were near intence as rugby, and another thing rugbys hits played ay professional level are way harder on impact because of no padding
@supersaiyanMK2 Who said "anything" about the "whole world" revolving around the US? Forget you're inferiority complex for a moment and stay on subject! While it's true tha the RWC is the 3rd biggest event, but Rugby Union generally ranks 9th-11th in world popularity, with AF generally ranking 10th-12th. Half the decisions made in AF are on the fly, the other make it the most strategig tactical, "war like" game on Earth. Btw, I've never seen Rugby played in this: watch?v=_ssHCwteX4M , Show Me!
@supersaiyanMK2 If you like most Rugby fans, had a shred of understanding of AF's rules, military like strategy, mind spinning tactics, nuance, and history, you're words would have merit, but they don't. AF is so heavily steeped in military culture, that other countries have borrowed AF traditions in their military ceremonies. The planning of game strategy is like planning a battle. And just so we're clear, AF injuries are as frequent or more so, but are often far, far! more severe than Rugby!
@bebomac5 keep blowing your own horn you have no understanding of rugby and its tactics rugby is more like old school millitary tactics when it was all hand to hand contact kind of like the spartans AF is gay!!!
@supersaiyanMK2 Wow! You used a biggoted, homophobic slur! Good on you! You have you're arguments conpletely destoyed, and get exposed as a complete moron, and that's you're best comeback?
@bebomac5 hahahaaa rugby shorts are same as rugular issue mulitary shorts that most millitarys train in during p.e, your got nothing there, rugby is the greatest sport of true raw toughness military tactics and skill but its no good telling you that, even if the gods came down from the heavens and told you the same thing it would never get threw your thick skull, yes those AF players shorts look very very gay lol
@supersaiyanMK2 Maybe where your from, but in this country, "men" haven't worn shorts like that since the 80's! Ask any American. These are US ARMY standard issued "MENS" shorts, as worn by the BLACK KNIGHTS of The United States Military Academy at West Point Football Team. Fyi, West Point has trained and educated every commissioned Officer in the US Army since 1802. watch?v=aVNMZK6yD84 .
@supersaiyanMK2 Rugby tactics are awesome, and the players are incredibly tough, as are AF players: watch?v=aGSQLpLPEJA
To suggest that Rugby's tactics, and strategy are anywher near the level of AF is just stupid. When you hear someone say "AF is militaristic, and like Chess" it is meant quite literally: watch?v=S8bbR9n2ehc , watch?v=81ZkGOaCaiM . AF players must make lighting quick choices constantly before and after the snap, in the midst of a "hurricane of flying bodies.
@bebomac5 what a load of crapp i watched another game of AF last night it was slow and boriing and no were near as tactical as rugby dont get me wrong the AF players are awesome but no were near as tactical as rugby you poo pusher lol
@supersaiyanMK2 Rugby is no more tactical or strategicthan Hockey, Basketball, Soccer, etc. Sorry you don't understand whats happening on the field, or the incredible amount of communication going on constantly. Btw, what game did you watch?
@bebomac5 who cares this video is very biased no rugby heaps on nfl and they didn't work hard on choosing the rugby look up "nfl vs rugby big hits" and click on my videos part 1 and 2 (which i made last night and the day before) enjoy them they both took me 8 hours each to make a bit of a struggle but all the same enjoy and have your arguments there after watching the videos ok and tell others to do the same tell me what you think of the video
@bebomac5 AF players make big hits, but i noticed that they usualy go in head first, well try to tackle like that in a game of rugby with no helmet on and garantee thats a knee to the head or a fending shoulder or elbow, AF players just dont know how to tackle, in rugby you are trained from the start of the correct way of doing it, to pull off the tackles rugby players do with out protection of helmet and padding is the same skill of a wrestling take down at runing speed that true real skill
@supersaiyanMK2 You actually think AF players aren't trained, not only in propper tackling technique, but also propper hitting tech, from early childhood? youtube is filled with AF practices, on all levels, go watch!
AF technique is different from Rugby, and they work best for the sport. Also remember that blockers don't exist in rugby. Like tackling, blocking technique and block shedding, (defeating) are taught to an equally maddening degree: watch?v=o-H_a8Op6IY , watch?v=cEdPV_nhh2g .
@supersaiyanMK2 bro look up nfl vs rugby big hits (click on my videos in the search there actualy fair view both of them part 1 and 2 i made them today and yesterday)
@supersaiyanMK2 big hits rugby thats got true big hits no padding no raw styles, AF players cant tackle for shit they all ways go in head first with out the helmet on that would be a knee to the head or elbow, thoe i do like the big hits the big hits in AF with the padding and helmet on make it unpure, as in rugby the big hits are done in the correct skill as in a wrestle take down with someone coming at you at full speed rugby its pure toughness
@supersaiyanMK2 As I've pointed out, AF is most often played and practiced without pads. "We know" what unequipt hits feel like. We also know that hits with H&P's are much more devastating and more dangerous. I've asked you several times, have you hit , or have you been hit in full equipt? FYI, someone attempting "Rugby styled" tackles in AF, will be Destroyed! Btw, All of the greatest Gladiators and Warriors in the world and throughout history have worn armour!
@bebomac5 well until i see AF played without pads and helmets on a professional level then i dont give a dam, as i said AF players cant tackle for shit, going in head first there get knocked out trying that shit in game of rugby, rugby players have real skilled take down tackles like a martial artiset or wrestler, i also like how you compare AF players to wearing padding and helmet to that of gladiators well thats very flamboyant its still unpure and weak no matter how you wish to glorify it
@supersaiyanMK2 HAVE YOU BEEN HIT IN HELMET AND PADS? I, like most AF fans and players have taken 100's, of hits without equipment on. Hits in equipment are FAR! worse, unlike you, I'm speaking from a place of experience. AF has been played for 143 years, unpure? really? your an idiot! You'd better believe it's a gladiator sport, and downright deadly without equipment. Hell,..it's deadly with equipment, 11 deaths so far this year. When I see a Rugby player fight off blocks, you can talk!
@supersaiyanMK2 I assume your knowledge of AF is extremely limited. Having played both Rugby and AF on a Collegiate level, I can tell you that they are both great sports however differ in a few specific areas:
To play at a high level whether it be NCAA D1 or NFL/CFL you have to be a FREAK of nature. You have to be extremely large, without compromising the slightest bit of explosiveness or speed.
To play at the same level in Rugby you have to be somewhat of a freak as well. Endurance-Wise.
@supersaiyanMK2 you know thats how football players tackle also but if u have a clean shot to take the guy out sorry but going head first like that is gonna do a lot more damage watch a damn football game u will see tackles are the same but these ones are when u have a oppurtunity to take them out of the game
@supersaiyanMK2 exactly why they wear protection so they can do those kinds of hits so u just proved it yourself saying without them u would brake ur neck so thanks for saying NFL hits harder cause rugby players can't do those kind of hits
@Nickkieg6 well that just go's to show that rugby is more tougher because its pure and real life, stupid americans whats next rocket boosters for extra speed on the field, rugby players are far more tougher then AF players and the hits are felt more too because of no protection and the amount of blood spelt on the rugby field during one game would be more then your ever see in a AF game in your whole life,,AF is just hollywood man rugby is real
@supersaiyanMK2 the pros played with out pads when younger they still practice without pads from time to time... every american has played without pads and that makes us tougher cause no pads? hell no i love back yard football but pads makes the game twice as fast and daring. you definitely have more blood shed but so? we have more long term injuries. ur not from U.S im not from where rugby is s we will never agree. BUT i will take rugby over soccer if you learned tactics of football ud like it
@Nickkieg6 yes your right none of us will never agree that the oposing sport is better, loyal to our game as we should be, if i was brought up in the U.S i would of loved AF and if you were brought up were i come from you would of loved R.U but yes we can both agree on one thing soccer is fucking gay a game for pussys not a game for brave men of courage and honour like R.U and A.F
@supersaiyanMK2 Just watch Australian Football. its a contact sport, it has hard hits, they wear no pads and its skillfull. The most exciting game on Earth.
@bebomac5 AF is more tactical in a planned sense there are rarely and on the spot decisions rugby is just look at whats infront of you work at it you see a player running your way tackle him if you see another of your players has him mark your man if you see a gap call for ball nfl hits are harder on still players and those unaware infact rugby players are shit at hitting players who aren't coming at them but rugby players are more like a brick wall than nfl players to moving players
@bebomac5 please read my comments first than after that to prove my point look at my 2 videos just search "nfl big hits and runs" in the youtube search watch both videos (there are 2 versions of both the videos part 1 and 2 have a death core music versions and a soft music version decide which is more your type) so look them up enjoy tell me what you think and after viewing the videos tell me from what you have watched your decision on what i had said before this
@bebomac5 sure when i came off my motorbike at 80miles a hour didnt feel a thing so tell me you ever been spare tackled without pads hey girls wear pads too on there virgina lol
I have played both on a high school varsity level and would like everyone to quit their bitching. They are both hard and brutal sports, I have a tremendous respect for rugby and football players alike. Although for me I would rather play a game of rugby than football, just on a personal choice.
obviously the hits will be bigger in american football you stupid americans? You're allowed to do ANYTHING, in rugby you arent allowed to aim to break someones neck or tackle above the shoulders, to be honest, rugby and american football players are probably just as fit, strong and muscular as eachother just in american football they are allowed to show it more.
@TheVegaschamp NHL is plan gay wearing thoses tight spandex tights that screams out load gay!!!!!!!would you wears those to walmart? rugby baby you cant beat it
id so love to see you limeys line up against a NFL team it be so funny to see you stupid asses getiitng carried off the field with broken bones we wear those pads for a reason WE HIT HARDER if we didnt have them on there would be heD trama and plenty of broken bones
@beanlovesledzeppelin Dude if you said you would like to see American football players get through the Aussie line after playing your sport for like 20 minutes, hell I don't think they could. They have a low cardio threshold, especially the bigger guys. But it's because they play an Anaerobic sport. They hit so much harder, and that's why we wear pads. People used to die, still do. The average 16 year old American football player hits at about 40 G, like a car coming at about 55 km/h.
@joker52mlb Please stop calling this game football. I cringe every time I hear it called that. There is so much wrong, firstly with the terminology of the game, but also with why it lays claim to the biggest annual sports event. Cricket and rugby (all different versions of it) are two much better team sports to watch, and I don't find it surprising that they are generally not played, or even known about, by Americans. Grid Iron is about big hits and throwing. Rugby is about tactics and teamwork
@wattsyman I don't think I will man. I don't really care what your opinion is now.
Personally, I love rugby. I think it's a great game. The only difference is our basterdization is anaerobic in nature, and rugby is more of a constant game. The mere notion that you claim American football is about big hits and not about tactics, strategy and teamwork should really render your opinion invallid. The common observer could see the contrary. Call it whatever you like, it's an excellent strategy game.
Yes, fair enough at the football hit speed. but rubgy has more contact, you're more likely to get rugby tackled than you would get hit in football. Men who play rugby have lost parts of their ears from playing the game. It's a rough tough sport.
@beanlovesledzeppelin I don't think there is more contact collectively. A rugby player needs to be tough though, I wouldn't ever contend with that claim. Overall, I think one has to be tougher to play rugby. On the gird, you'll sustain more internal injuries/pain and brain damage because of the padding and the unexpected results we have had after implementing it, rather than the exterior wear and tear you'll get from rugby. I do wish though, that rugby would catch on in the states. Great sport.
ball games are gay, nuff said. no one will respect muscular assholes running around hurting eachother you can all get fucked.. have fun tackling eachother retards...

i played american football for my whole life and i just picked up rugby this past year. i'm kind of tired of seeing all of the fans of both sports talk shit to one another. I love both sports. football has harder hits and you feel invincible in those pads. rugby is a ton of fun but it feels more dangerous because it is body to body. each sport has it's incredible athletes. some rugby guys could play football and vice versa. lets see Jonah Lomu vs. Ray Lewis or Bryan Habana vs. Devin Hester.

I don't think Rugby players know what it feels like to be hit by a 245 lb linebacker. A hit from someone that big running at 12 mph will distribute about 900 lbs of force on average. Try getting lit up like that almost every single play. And half the time rugby players get hit, its in their hip/stomach area, the most common areas for contact in American Football are the high torso and shoulders, two very vulnerable areas, Please just accept defeat all you Rugby players.

@ibuckeyenation33 except for the fact that it's not vulnerable at all due to the pads. And the heaviest guy on NZ weighed a little over 245, he's going to be faster because he's more athletic and has more momentum from lesser weight because of no pads. Have that flying into you're stomach and having to get back up to ruck and tell me that footballs harder.

@LIPOs6S0001 played football since I was eight up until junior year in HS, no they don't purposely lead with their head but how many tackles end up with the guy going in head down right into the guys shoulder pads? Quite a lot, the majority of rugby tackles though are in the thigh to stomach section, face up and leading with the shoulder. That sir is technique.

First off, we have pads because we hit 10 x harder than rugby players do (For comment below). Second, rugby isn't anywhere near as organized as American football is.

Arent you trying to score, and you're going to run into the defender? WTF?

@shakethegame23 you are a fucking idiot thats never played rugby if you think american footballers 'hit' harder than rugby players... both hit as hard as the player can to achieve territorial advance in the game. so there it depends on the player how hard they hit, just rugby players are tough and can handle the pain of being hit.

@PlutoMusicProduction That one thing you said...
"Both hit as hard as the player can to achieve territorial advance in the game"
Exactly my point. Because they don't have pads, Rugby players dont hit as hard as football players to get farther on the feild. Football players actually do hit hard to get farther. For the pain of being hit, anyone can handle it. We only have pads to hear the sound of that hit. Besides, ya dont see those type of hits in the video at a Rugby game, now do ya?

tests were done on rugby players and football players and it turns about that the adverage rugby player runs about 8 miles during a game and the adverage football player only runs about half a mile in a game, this shows that rugby demands must more physical fitness and stamina. and also rugby also involves much more skill for example when you tackle in rugby you need skill and power but in football you just throw yourself at the other person. Rugby is better than football period.

I grew up playing tackle football on paved streets & in parks with no pads/helmets before playing in local leagues. Many NFL players do this sort of thing growing up. This was 10x the roughness rugby. AF routinely has more piercing, blind side & harder angle of attack hits at full bore (all defensive backs sole & inherent reason for existence) than any rules rugby. Helmets/pads mandated, because people died & the U.S. government threatened to ban it otherwise. Research 1905 Pres. Roosevelt!

Football is actually played more often without pads, than with pads, as only the "organized teams" use pads. the majority of football play is not this "organized play", we still just as hard with pads as without. ya'll wouldn't know "toughness" if it hit you in the face.

@supersaiyanMK2 Pads are required because of the large amount of people becoming paralyzed due to the hits and several deaths. When yall can hit like we do, then America will take it seriously. Please, think on the run? You give them far too much credit, they toss a ball around and cross their fingers and hope that the defense will make a mistake. It takes far more brains to learn all the defenses, your offenses, and the plays associated with each one. Helmets fly off all the time...

You have no clue how it feels to be "blasted" in full gear. I promise, you have "never" felt an impact so brutal. Playing Rugby/AF without H&P's is "child's play".

@supersaiyanMK2 Maybe where your from, but in this country, "men" haven't worn shorts like that since the 80's! Ask any American. These are US ARMY standard issued "MENS" shorts, as worn by the BLACK KNIGHTS of The United States Military Academy at West Point Football Team. Fyi, West Point has trained and educated every commissioned Officer in the US Army since 1802. watch?v=aVNMZK6yD84 .

@supersaiyanMK2 Rugby tactics are awesome, and the players are incredibly tough, as are AF players: watch?v=aGSQLpLPEJA
To suggest that Rugby's tactics, and strategy are anywher near the level of AF is just stupid. When you hear someone say "AF is militaristic, and like Chess" it is meant quite literally: watch?v=S8bbR9n2ehc , watch?v=81ZkGOaCaiM . AF players must make lighting quick choices constantly before and after the snap, in the midst of a "hurricane of flying bodies.

@bebomac5 AF players make big hits, but i noticed that they usualy go in head first, well try to tackle like that in a game of rugby with no helmet on and garantee thats a knee to the head or a fending shoulder or elbow, AF players just dont know how to tackle, in rugby you are trained from the start of the correct way of doing it, to pull off the tackles rugby players do with out protection of helmet and padding is the same skill of a wrestling take down at runing speed that true real skill
supersaiyanMK2 3 months ago
@supersaiyanMK2 You actually think AF players aren't trained, not only in propper tackling technique, but also propper hitting tech, from early childhood? youtube is filled with AF practices, on all levels, go watch!
AF technique is different from Rugby, and they work best for the sport. Also remember that blockers don't exist in rugby. Like tackling, blocking technique and block shedding, (defeating) are taught to an equally maddening degree: watch?v=o-H_a8Op6IY , watch?v=cEdPV_nhh2g .

@supersaiyanMK2 big hits rugby thats got true big hits no padding no raw styles, AF players cant tackle for shit they all ways go in head first with out the helmet on that would be a knee to the head or elbow, thoe i do like the big hits the big hits in AF with the padding and helmet on make it unpure, as in rugby the big hits are done in the correct skill as in a wrestle take down with someone coming at you at full speed rugby its pure toughness
supersaiyanMK2 3 months ago
@supersaiyanMK2 As I've pointed out, AF is most often played and practiced without pads. "We know" what unequipt hits feel like. We also know that hits with H&P's are much more devastating and more dangerous. I've asked you several times, have you hit , or have you been hit in full equipt? FYI, someone attempting "Rugby styled" tackles in AF, will be Destroyed! Btw, All of the greatest Gladiators and Warriors in the world and throughout history have worn armour!
bebomac5 3 months ago
@bebomac5 well until i see AF played without pads and helmets on a professional level then i dont give a dam, as i said AF players cant tackle for shit, going in head first there get knocked out trying that shit in game of rugby, rugby players have real skilled take down tackles like a martial artiset or wrestler, i also like how you compare AF players to wearing padding and helmet to that of gladiators well thats very flamboyant its still unpure and weak no matter how you wish to glorify it
supersaiyanMK2 3 months ago
@supersaiyanMK2 HAVE YOU BEEN HIT IN HELMET AND PADS? I, like most AF fans and players have taken 100's, of hits without equipment on. Hits in equipment are FAR! worse, unlike you, I'm speaking from a place of experience. AF has been played for 143 years, unpure? really? your an idiot! You'd better believe it's a gladiator sport, and downright deadly without equipment. Hell,..it's deadly with equipment, 11 deaths so far this year. When I see a Rugby player fight off blocks, you can talk!

@supersaiyanMK2 I assume your knowledge of AF is extremely limited. Having played both Rugby and AF on a Collegiate level, I can tell you that they are both great sports however differ in a few specific areas:
To play at a high level whether it be NCAA D1 or NFL/CFL you have to be a FREAK of nature. You have to be extremely large, without compromising the slightest bit of explosiveness or speed.
To play at the same level in Rugby you have to be somewhat of a freak as well. Endurance-Wise.

@supersaiyanMK2 you know thats how football players tackle also but if u have a clean shot to take the guy out sorry but going head first like that is gonna do a lot more damage watch a damn football game u will see tackles are the same but these ones are when u have a oppurtunity to take them out of the game

@supersaiyanMK2 exactly why they wear protection so they can do those kinds of hits so u just proved it yourself saying without them u would brake ur neck so thanks for saying NFL hits harder cause rugby players can't do those kind of hits

@Nickkieg6 well that just go's to show that rugby is more tougher because its pure and real life, stupid americans whats next rocket boosters for extra speed on the field, rugby players are far more tougher then AF players and the hits are felt more too because of no protection and the amount of blood spelt on the rugby field during one game would be more then your ever see in a AF game in your whole life,,AF is just hollywood man rugby is real
supersaiyanMK2 3 months ago
@supersaiyanMK2 the pros played with out pads when younger they still practice without pads from time to time... every american has played without pads and that makes us tougher cause no pads? hell no i love back yard football but pads makes the game twice as fast and daring. you definitely have more blood shed but so? we have more long term injuries. ur not from U.S im not from where rugby is s we will never agree. BUT i will take rugby over soccer if you learned tactics of football ud like it

@Nickkieg6 yes your right none of us will never agree that the oposing sport is better, loyal to our game as we should be, if i was brought up in the U.S i would of loved AF and if you were brought up were i come from you would of loved R.U but yes we can both agree on one thing soccer is fucking gay a game for pussys not a game for brave men of courage and honour like R.U and A.F

@bebomac5 AF is more tactical in a planned sense there are rarely and on the spot decisions rugby is just look at whats infront of you work at it you see a player running your way tackle him if you see another of your players has him mark your man if you see a gap call for ball nfl hits are harder on still players and those unaware infact rugby players are shit at hitting players who aren't coming at them but rugby players are more like a brick wall than nfl players to moving players

obviously the hits will be bigger in american football you stupid americans? You're allowed to do ANYTHING, in rugby you arent allowed to aim to break someones neck or tackle above the shoulders, to be honest, rugby and american football players are probably just as fit, strong and muscular as eachother just in american football they are allowed to show it more.

IMHO Rugby is a mans game.
No pads, No helmets, just balls(as in courage).
In a game so rough, men sometime loose parts of their ear !!
They are very tough, strong, men.
Also the All Blacks are merciless, Cor Blimey they're a scary bunch

So a rugby team has 22 players. 15 on the pitch with 7 subs.
How many on a Football team? 40+ ? Switching out for defense and offense?

@beanlovesledzeppelin Dude if you said you would like to see American football players get through the Aussie line after playing your sport for like 20 minutes, hell I don't think they could. They have a low cardio threshold, especially the bigger guys. But it's because they play an Anaerobic sport. They hit so much harder, and that's why we wear pads. People used to die, still do. The average 16 year old American football player hits at about 40 G, like a car coming at about 55 km/h.

@joker52mlb Please stop calling this game football. I cringe every time I hear it called that. There is so much wrong, firstly with the terminology of the game, but also with why it lays claim to the biggest annual sports event. Cricket and rugby (all different versions of it) are two much better team sports to watch, and I don't find it surprising that they are generally not played, or even known about, by Americans. Grid Iron is about big hits and throwing. Rugby is about tactics and teamwork
wattsyman 6 months ago
@wattsyman I don't think I will man. I don't really care what your opinion is now.
Personally, I love rugby. I think it's a great game. The only difference is our basterdization is anaerobic in nature, and rugby is more of a constant game. The mere notion that you claim American football is about big hits and not about tactics, strategy and teamwork should really render your opinion invallid. The common observer could see the contrary. Call it whatever you like, it's an excellent strategy game.
joker52mlb 6 months ago
@joker52mlb
Yes, fair enough at the football hit speed. but rubgy has more contact, you're more likely to get rugby tackled than you would get hit in football. Men who play rugby have lost parts of their ears from playing the game. It's a rough tough sport.
beanlovesledzeppelin 6 months ago
@beanlovesledzeppelin I don't think there is more contact collectively. A rugby player needs to be tough though, I wouldn't ever contend with that claim. Overall, I think one has to be tougher to play rugby. On the gird, you'll sustain more internal injuries/pain and brain damage because of the padding and the unexpected results we have had after implementing it, rather than the exterior wear and tear you'll get from rugby. I do wish though, that rugby would catch on in the states. Great sport.
