[QUOTE="DC, post: 89294"] Yeah...having a conversation in America about rugby is pointless. Here is just the burial ground for American Footballers who didn't make it after HS and College (no offense, I only learned and started playing after a shoulder injury in college football), so everyone's opinion of it is more of a drinking club that like to beat others up. Hopefully that is changing. But, still, even within the American Rugby community it's hard to have a conversation about current rugby statistics or matches or players. Good thing I married an EU citizen, we're planning on moving so I can watch more rugby, oh, and to be close to her family. [img]http://www.scrum.com/rugbyworldcup/world_cup_photos/gallery36_fravusa/lineout.jpg[/img] [/b][/quote] i'd like to know, in your opinion, which one is the toughest between US football and rugby ? do you think US footballers could be performant without their "armor" against a rugby team ? for me its undoubtly rugby !!! btw i can't tell any of my friends about TRF 'cause they are all french and it implies that none of them sepaks english ... [/b][/quote] the best way ive heard it summed up is like this american football is a collision sport as where rugby is a contact sport the reason for the pads in american football is because its running from the sideline and laying someone out, whereas in rugby to take someone down, wrapping and correct form is more important than just trying to lay someone out.
