[QUOTE="DC, post: 159510"] I'd love you to try and take that argument with any top level rugby coach or player. I'm pretty sure they'd tell you there's far more to strategy than simply having a big play-book. I respect American Football for what it is, but compared to rugby there is no contest in my mind. [/b][/quote] In all honesty having watched both extensively i'd say American Football is more strategic. American Football is literally chess on the field for the coach of the team, using different packages on both offense, defense, and special teams, theres tons of different packages with players covering different areas on each play in each particular package. Don't get me wrong rugby also has a huge amount of strategy involved but not quite near the level of American Football. Rugby is more geared towards you have your tactics for what you are going to do in the game, and its up to the [b]player [/b]not the coach to figure out how to win the match. Thats the key difference between the two games. [/QUOTE]
