A sport played by homo-repressed aussie and european men. An excuse for them to molest each other under the guise of sport.
Look at those limey playing rugby they're so gay.

A badass sport, not for the weak. Although it does involve more cardio readiness than American Football, the hits taken are not nearly as hard. American football hits have been Scientifically proven to be 4 times harder than a rugby hit. Pads are involved in American football, its is a nastier sport.
Either way, both are tougher than soccer, which is a joke. The comparison between rugby and soccer is that soccer players are Gentlemen off the field but not on the field. Conversely, Rugby players are gentlemen on the pitch but bad asses off the pitch.
Rugby, soccer, tough, Gentlemen, men, football, toughness

Shittiest sport in the world. Everyone says it is a real man's sport, but I don't think I feel comfortable having guys hoisting me up by my shorts... sounds more like a homosexual excuse to touch some other guy's nads.
Rugby sucks. Plain and simple.

1/4 of the game of football. For one, in Football you can forword pass, in Rugby you run, and you flip it to other players. You don't need to be smart in Rugby, because there is no strategy. The whole game is a group of players taking a ball and trying to run with it into an endzone. How is that fun, anyway? I have seen several Rugby games (Mostly at the ESPN Zone in Anaheim) and I honestly have no idea what the hell is so great about it.
Tackling in Rugby is latching onto another player and getting them to the ground. In American football tackling is running as fast as you can and delivering a blow to the gut. Other tackles include the helmit to chin move, Where The only thing stopping the person teach from going into there gums is a mouth guard.
Becasue there is no strategy, there are no breaks, and as a result it is very fast paced. Maybe in Europe is is a good thing, around here we don't care less about how many commercials there are. Commercails just make the game longer anyway.
Most people from europe say it's better than American Football. Most people from europe also do not have American Football.
Rugby for girls? Are you retarded? Pads make the game HARDER AND MORE HARD HITTING!! Seriesly, who the fuck said football is for pussys!? HAVE YOU SEEN A GAME OF FOOTBALL!? Pads add about 15 pounds (8 KG I think) and shoulder and leg pads make a hit hurt ten times worse, and a helmit is made of METAL. Do you know how much it hurts to get a huge ass piece of metal hitting right at your gut?? Obviously, anyone saying that is retarded and shouldn't be aloud to live.
I've watched American Football and Rugby, and American Football is better. Maybe if you've watched both you'd agree.

Really stupid sport played using a ball that isn't even ball shaped. There are two kinds of it but few people know or care what the difference is. Invented when a thick schoolboy picked up the ball and ran with it during a game of football. Because he was posh he didn't get his head kicked in, instead he was congratulated for inventing a new sport, which was named after the school he attended. I can honestly say I have never spoken to a single person with any interest in rugby.
If you think football is boring to watch, you should see rugby. Or, rather, you shouldn't.
