Rugby is a world sport. The main difference between rugby and American football apart from the obvious lack of a suit of armour, is the fact that rugby is non stop action for 80 minutes and American football is action for five or 10 seconds and then a break for a chat or advertising 😊

I grew up in Virginia playing football, moved to Ireland and started rugby when I was a teenager. No pads and helmets is a good thing, you learn how to take a hit and how to deliver one safely. Now, granted that I will limp for the rest of my life and have had multiple operations, but rugby is the sport of kings

One of the things I always like to stress to Americans is that a lot of tackles in Rugby are done with proper technique, mainly because the lack of protection means you need to have good technique or you're losing teeth, breaking bones etc. The use of pads and helmets in the NFL has actually reduced the technique level of many players tackling, which leads to just throwing your body in like a missile at the guy. This is why the NFL has more concussions in general than most Rugby competitions.

What you dont realise is the size of the players. Lowest weight on the field if theres a unusually small player is probably 12 or 13 stone but most are probably between 15 to 20 stone. Jonah lomu was 19+ stone but could do the 100 in 11 seconds. Granted he was special. Rip Jonah.

Excellent. It's also the real 'beautiful game' - often missed is how inclusive it is compared to other sports. I remember at School - because of the different physical demands of each position it really was a game where kids of all shapes and sizes could fit in and truly work as a team. Fantastic. This and the fact it teaches real command of one's emotions - the violence is of the body and not the mind in the best players - and good sportsmanship (we all have a beer after). Superb. Best game in the world.

I didn't realise until I saw them crammed into plane just how massive rugby players are. It was very impressive. Some of them stood around the toilet areas for most of the flight because they just couldn't fit into their seats. Watching normal men trying to squeeze between them on their way to the toilet without looking intimidated had me entertained for the whole flight.

"Run with it as much as you want but you can *ONLY* pass backwards" makes for a MUCH more agressive game imo. Plus what you often get with Rugby is not segregation in the stands & both teams supporters going out afterwards and getting the beers in together and without issue. It's a whole "gentleman thug" thing! 😁

As a French, i can say that in rugby schools for kids (both boys and girls), they don't practice tackles because of danger. But they learn how to fall, how to resist to stay their two legs, how to catch the ball from adversaries, and how to enjoy, because, in reality, it's a team fighting sport. In many places all over Europe, in ancient time (i.e. since medieval age), villages "played" game in witch the goal is to put something (typically a big ball) to the church of the opponents. In France it was called "la soule" and it was extremely dangerous with possible deaths (yes, we started it as some kind of war"). So now, it is a little more civilized but still hard, physical and sometime harmful but honestly the rules are evolving to adresse commotional issues. For example, you can't tackle over the shoulders because of the neck, you can't tackle an opponent who is still on his jump. You have to wait his (her) feet are on the ground, and so on. Really, this sport seems very brutal when played by senior men but try to see feminine rugby. As woman don't have the same size, they must find other tricks to win the game. Personally, i enjoy women's game because it's different and very interesting. Have a good day and happy new year.

You can see the similarities: field lines, running with the ball, lateral or backwards pass, goal posts (in the US they were moved to the back while in Canada they're still in the front).

As an American without the bigotry, take a look at the National Rugby League in Australia and State of Origin. Union highlights can give the illusion of a full on game, but in reality Rugby League has twice the action and far better skills over the same time period. Watch full games to make the comparison. Not saying the fellas are not talented or tough in Union; they just don't get many opportunities to show it because the biggest influence is nearly always the lawyers, I mean referees whistle.

Rugby started in rugby school ,Warwickshire, England around 1823/1845 and is still played worldwide to this day. Look up 5 Nations Rugby. This is taught in Secondary school (11 to 17 year old's) I myself played on the wing and sometimes as the Hooker ( the guy who is held up by the props in the scrum and try's to get the ball first when placed into a scrum) Great fun and there are rules on how you tackle.

Not entirely true, but pound for pound the Rugby (League)players rule in one on one tackling...in the NFL, a player of Lomus size is common...and no arms are required in the tackle + gang Bang 3+ tacklers in 1 hit. Many of the layers also have Olympic speed...but for all Rugby codes, we handle the jandle!!😊

The women are proving to be excellent gameplayers as well in the Australian national Rugby League, NRLW comp. Less aggressive, but excellent technicians. Newcastle Knights are back to back premiers. The Wallaroos, Rugby Union, have just beaten the French team in an international.

The last rugby World Cup,was held in Japan and I had the privilege of watching the Japanese beat South Africa in the previous rugby World Cup ( a highly I unexpected result!).

There are a lot of rules making the game a lot safer than it used to be. Most of those tackles would have resulted in a penalty kick for the other team. And you’re not allowed to tackle a player who is NOT holding the ball. FYI, the Rugby World Cup is currently on, so go watch it!

I can always remember being at school and is doing Rugby for Physical Education, the rules were “full contact” but because I’m like twice the size of most people in my year I would get into some trouble for full on tackling people 😂 Got to the point where one minute I’d be complained at for injuring people (the tackles were completely legal) then the next I had the teacher come up to me and ask if I wanted to play for the schools rugby team 😂😂

It's a man's game. When younger I liked to fight, so I started playing rugby. My biggest achievement was having to play for the other side as they had run out of subs. I was told by my captain to make the team proud. I broke two noses on my team, scored 3 tries and was bought a pint from every man on the opposite team. My team lost because of me and my team was proud that I put 110 in to my performance. If you don't mind getting hit, it's a fantastic game to play. You have a fight on the pitch and buy the guy a pint afterwards. I played against my ex wife's ex and he took me out really hard twice and sprained both my ankles, when he said sorry after, I said I would have done the same to him if I'd had the chance, we are still friends.

Nah, it's not a "man game" like you said. Manly, or brutal, and open if you want. But not man. Hell, I know women playing it, and female rubgy exist (and is great). And even if physically they can't (obviously) play it with man (mixed rugby is a total idiotic idea 😂) they are as brash, brutal and open betwen themself than man are. And yes, I have play and like to play (for a short time, sadly) when younger.

Being Australian born and English and New Zealand background Rugby is ingrained into me and believe me the hits huuurrrrtttt. I've been knocked out cold a couple times, tackled mid air and flung 2 metres, landed on my shoulder and head, some how stayed concious for that one. The amount of late tackles you take being a winger taking chip kicks suuuuccckkss

There are 2 kinds of rugby - league and union. Both are played professionally in many countries (most commonly the UK where it was invented, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and the pacific islands such as Fiji, Samoa etc.) Some of this footage is from international matches. Oh, and the women hit hard too.

It might surprise you how few major injuries occur because of big hits and tackles. Most injuries in tackles occur when it is not done properly. Young players also find out real quick that the most certain way to get hurt is to hold back - because your opponent is not holding back.
