Whats better Rugby or Football?

Whats better rugby of americian football?

  • Why do americian football players wear all that padding but rugby players only wear a gum sheild and a jock strap. Is there any honour in these sports

  • Answer:

    The only reason the hits are bigger in American football is because they are wearing half a ton of armour. Their players aren't any bigger or stronger on their own. No, I wouldn't want to take a hit by an American footballer if he was wearing kevlar body armour and I wasn't, but that is irrelevant. In Rugby no one wears any armour at all. Even shin pads are technically illegal, and I've never, ever seen anyone wear a cup. American footballers don't go into scrums, or rucks, or mauls. They don't get raked, or punched, or kicked like we do, and we have to do it all without armour. When we make hits it has to be done with only the force of our own bodies, and when we take hits we have nothing to protect us. I have never come out of a rugby match without at least half a dozen bruises on my body, sometimes I have huge cuts going l the way down my legs or body, I've had black eyes and bloody noses. How often do American footballers get those injuries.

American Football: Everything else is just a recreation. The padding? Waaaay too many people were getting killed. They didn't always wear it, you know. Actually a former President of the U.S. threatened to bane the game because of all of the deaths unless something was done, thus the current equipment. There is nothing at all in Rugby that comes even slightly close to the speed of head to head impact that you find in American football.

rugby! padding aside, the game of rubgy is better! there's too much standing around in football...

Mommy Dearest

Yes, apart from the obvious answer. Consider, that after the game, no matter how many teeth lost, the game of Rugby is honourable amongst the competitor. Both sides bond by having a pint, several infact, after the game. Do they do this in the States? Although, I feel that one similarity shared between the two is they both have a good family base of supporters. Not like 'real' football GB where an increasing number of supporters are out for trouble. Yes, them septics have to trance the playgrounds in padded supports and bras, not like the real lads. Suppose the US game has good entertainment value.
