American Football players are PUSSY they need padding where rugby players Don't need tht shit it's just constant hard hitting so You yanks do the math ? which ones better.

[crs208]

American Football or Grid Iron, as many other nations call it, has many differences in rules for contact. You don't have to wrap tackle, headbutts and leading with your head are legal, and leaping into the air to make a catch, expect to be blasted, because it's legal to get hit while in the air. These are deemed dangerous play in rugby(and are in any sport). Rugby chose to outlaw these dangers where as American football chooses to embrace these actions and selected padding to protect the players

[crs208]

When american footie first started they used no pads, eventually some players started using leather caps and soft pads to protect their heads and shoulders, wait a minute, isn't that what approxomatly 60% of rugby players do now, use protective padding for protection, to prevent injury and enhance their longevity in the sport? I've played both, and do prefer Rugby over the latter, because rugby demands a more well rounded athlete.

I'm from Argentina and I love rugby - it has more passion than any sport ever invented, including football (soccer)

A Football Team: 11 guys pretending to be hurt for 90 minutes

A Rugby Team: 15 brothers pretending not to be hurt for 80 minutes

Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen

Football is a gentlemen's game played by thugs.

Thats the Truth.

[powderyfool]

Even if they get hit harder they still have all that padding and protection

@rednech23 Congratuwelldone... you watched Invictus :P

[PainDealer86]

@elvago007 Absolutely right, brother!

[MrYoville2010]

@rajantolani orrrrrr american players as myself are smart enough not to go out and just wreck ourselfs as rugby players r just goin out tryn to break every bone in their body....

[mrrandomasain]

@crs208 The reason why rugby players use leather caps is that when they go into scrum they dont want their ears teared off.....and the cap doesn't help at all for protection of head

[madchefdude]

you really cant comapre rugby to football i played both and i believe you get hit harder in football because you just run into people there is no technique but rugby is more physicaly demanding because of all the cardio and lifting people off the rucks i love rugby but still think football player get hit harder because of recklessness

[thomrrey2009]

I am american and i agree rugby is so much better than football

[sXeLodge]

@crs208 Yeah there's a difference between padding on the head, and padding all over the upper body and legs.

Oh my god, I might get smashed when I get tackled, I better where more padding that is actually necessary to make sure it doesn't hurt. Whats the point of them working out and getting hugely muscular if they need to wear padding over it? Fucking man up!

[tutompac]

not many players in american football will make it in rugby alot of them are just too fat

but i garauntee many rugby players would make it in american football

cause they are really fit and there constanly moving

in gridiron they have like a minute break after every tackle

@Lindquist94 world strong men have played rugby, and get owned! rugby is a game of heart! its not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog. im only 218 pounds but knocking out 300pound guys warms my heart. there are great athletes in NFL, how many have the heart to play rugby. americans talk alot about big guys being dominant, how big and strong someone is, and how much someone benches. big chest isnt going to stop you from being knocked out or worse fatigued! fast guys are good though!!
