The real question here is this...
if you were to go in a bar for a fight...
who would you want with you...
your pussy ass rugby players...
or our 260 lb linebackers...who grew up in the fucking hood...
it would be a short fight...my friend...a short fight...
your rugby players would be spending the rest of their lives carrying around an IV...sipping their steak through a straw...
give me a break with this bullshit...because that's all it is...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
ha ha ha.....how come your guys wear all the padding then?.....not real contact is it?.....as for who i'd rather be with......well we would have to wait half an hour before the fight started, while your guys put their helmets and shit on...so id be with the rugby players
If American football players didn't wear pads...their sheer size, speed and strength...would be fucking lethal...
if you started off the NFL's 10 best on one side of a field...and the 10 best rugby players from the other side...
and had them plow into each other at midfield...
1. the US players would be faster...
2. the US players would run over your pussy ass rugby players without a second glance...
not even a contest...
go ahead and run with your faggety pad theory...
if that makes you feel better...
yeah bro...like I said...if that makes you feel better...
live in your dream world...
we wear pads because we have to...or their would be death involved...
pussies don't have to wear pads...cause they hit like faggots...
so like I said...roll with that if you're comfy with it...
the only half an hour that would be involved...is to pick up the pieces of your pansy ass rugby homos...
of course...that's assuming they'd even show...
more than likely...they'd be trying to "huddle" together back at the bedroom...
no way!....have you even the state of rubgy players at the end of a game?.....they dont give a shit how fucked up their faces and bodies are....they just keep going and going till the jobs done.....with no protection thats real guts...true british muscle
as i said its a real contact sport...
Bro...if a feather hits a feather...you may hurt a feather...
if a pansy hits a pansy...well...you may hurt a pansy...
if an American Football player hits a pans...er...rugby player...
well...
RIP...
I got nothing against you bro...nothing at all...and I'm not going to sit her and say I know squat about Rugby...
but don't roll in here WITHOUT KNOWING SHIT about American football...and making baseless statements...
The average football player...pads or not...outsizes your guys by what...40...50 pounds?
grew up in the roughest sections of the US...
trust me on this...I wouldn't be worried about a fight...or about toughness...
I'm not talking about scrapes and bruises and cuts...I'm talking about broken legs...dislocated joints...and torn muscles...
pads or not...you got nothing on US Football...
Rugby is rough, no doubt.
However, last time I checked it wasn't a feed-in to the NFL.
Around 10% of the NCAA football players make it to the NFL via the draft, and that's just the beginning.
Believe me, the pads involved do little to lessen the effects of low four forties going 200 to 230 pounds.
It's speed, and impact....plain and simple.
The best rugby player in the world would tune the fuck out on a simple bootleg.
Nope, I would have to say the NFL players ... year round workouts now ... men who are near 300 lbs and run sub 5 second fortys .... with the strength of probably 2 rugby playeres at least ...
Linebackers who outrun runningbacks and wide receviers....
Pads or no pads ... I'd have to take the NFL.
id still like to see a game between the two sides though....and the reason i compared the two sports is that weve had american footballers over here playing rugby and they didnt really cut it....yeah they were quick but didnt wanna get right in the thick of the action

American footballers...playing rugby?...in your pro leagues?
Hmmm...so...let me get this straight...
you have your pro rugby players...coming over here...and getting our football players...I'm assuming from college...because no pro football player is going to say, "hmm...I'm going to England to play Rugby..."
Point is...
How many Rugby players HAVE EVER played in the NFL?...and hasn't been a kicker?
NONE!
Why?
It's more skilled...and more punishing...period...
I wouldn't have any idea who those american footballers were, certainly could not have been anyone of any rep.
I'd still go with an NFL squad in a rugby game even. We have some earth movers that can move and lay some hurt down.
Hell, the argument isn't even existant in the USA ... it's a no contest which is the tougher, and has the tougher.
This is a joke of a thread...not even close...
Fuck, the Falcons beat 'em too.
Seriously, Seattle looks good.
I've got a very close friend who had a scholarship to play football at Auburn, only to blow his knee out. He played rugby instead, and laughed at the players who thought they could hit as hard as what the football guys do. I don't give a shit what anyone says, when you've got a 260 lbs guy named LeRoy, who can run the 40 yard dash in under 4.5 seconds barrelling down on your ass at full speed, then you are going to feel much pain, pads or not. Thing about LeRoy is, he doesn't care if he has pads or not, his job is to kill you...and he will.
Coming from a rugby nation.I have to agree that NFL Is a tougher game,fuck if you had a team of NFL players playing rugby I sure there would be alot of hard hits.In rugby most of the players are around 95kg and about 5'10 apart from the locks who have to be 6'6 to catch the ball in the lineouts.
The U.S.A Rugby team is catching up in the world in the game.
BTW...Go The Mighty AllBlacks.

rugby is a sport for gentlemen playing by 30 bad guys!
Rugby is like what we call "backyard football," which of course is what you play as a kid. Your folks tell you to play two-handed touch, but that is for pussies....you want to get out there and knock the hell out of the punk kid from down the street. It's a blast until someone gets hurt, i.e. breaks an arm or something, then you have every parent on the block raising hell. Then you get a little older, and Suzie next door wants to play....and of course you gotta play tackle with Suzie. Oh and then there's that new kid who still doesn't fit in with anyone, and always gets picked last....and is the first one to start crying when he gets hit. Not that any of this stuff is in rugby, but we Yanks do know what it's like to play without pads.
This thread should have been titled, "What is gayer? Rugby or...soccer" lol...
Where is Sesh or Panamark at with that thread about Rugby guys "down under" sticking thumbs up opposing players' asses and grabbing nutsacks, etc... lamo
Goddamn, I've NEVER seen a news article about Ray Lewis giving a running back or QB a rectal exam, something that seems to happen with some regularity in rugby... not to mention some homo rugby player dropped his drawers to 'celebrate' a win... or maybe the was soccer... either way... Rugby and Soccer are both gay... lol
GO IRISH!!!
GO UNLV!!!

Even though I love rugby and American football. An American football player completly crush a rugby player (It's true). The only thing about American football players is they get so many breaks. Time out's, Incompletions, out of bounds, two min warnings ect. While Rugby players just keep and the player doesn't go off when they get a cramped leg or a bloddy nose.
But as I said above a American Football players would win in a fight. But I respect rugby players more for the sport itself, it's more of a test of Stanima.
Rumour has it that Van Halen have continued in recent years with a new lead signer, but since there 1985 breakup, nobody involved has ever recaptured that spontaneous cheeseburger magic!

LMFAO...I was watching sportscenter last year....
when they were talking about a guy in Europe who was in the hospital having is rectal area "stitched" up after having some jam a fist all up and in there...

Take off you hoser...Hockey might be better than the CFL..which ain't real football anyway. I like hockey, don't get me wrong, but better than football? Only a Canadian would say such a thing.
