Whats the big deal with the rugby vs American football?!?

There is no big deal with Rugby Vs American Football and I did read the question someone had written on the forum. American Football and Rugby are two different games. How on earth did that person measure the two game together, I have no clue. I have had the pleasure of playing both and given how the two games are played different, if players tried playing American Football without all the gears, there is no one way players will be playing the game the way it's was meant to. I enjoyed playing American Football and the great part was with all the gears on, the ability of doing a lot of hard hits that I wouldn't dear try or continue doing in Rugby. Both games are tough and both involves a lot of intelligent if you wish to remain on the field and if you were to use the wrong technique which was meant to be used in America Football in Rugby, you would either come off as a hero or a stretcher. On the receiving end of the big hits, both Rugby and America Football both F&*ken hurt. So, best of luck and enjoy the game and ignore those that continue to compare the two games together and maybe one day people will realise the two games are totaly different.

It's not a big deal. You saying it's a big deal doesn't make it so. Chill.

hey dude..... never been to the site..... your getting the trolls who wanna stir up the trouble!! regular users of YA rugby dicuss rugby not taunt AFL now pick up that dummy you spat out and go back to your site and we'll stick to ours..... edit:ok just jumped over to AF page and looked 4 pages back only 1 question from a non user of YA rugby..... must be a troll dude!..... oh and so is the first answerer of this question not from this site either......

This ain't the right page to answer your stupid question! Stop waisting your time in here and GO ask that question in your own page! I play American Football but I LOVE watching Rugby! Unlike us they don't wear protective gears and the 'crunch' in their play is just AWESOME! Bone Crushing Tackels and Running Rugby...Damn Thrilling!...No wonder its the most Dangerous Game on the Planet! So...Take a Hike Buddy! Stop disgracing yourself!

IGNORE THEM.
