I've never seen to many rugby matches (NOR PLAYED IN) that compared to the college football games I played...

Once I blew out my knee, I decided, since I was not medically cleared to ever play football again, to play rugby.....I was young what can I say...

First of...Rugby is ALL cardio.....the hitting isn't even a quarter of what football is....second of all.....our biggest player was MAYBE 6'1" 220, which made ME, second or third...(6 foot, 210....at the time )

So it is ALMOST comparing apples & oranges....the hitting in football is MUCH mor vicious then rugby, but you need to be in top cardo shape for rugging...another thing I used to say about guys who opted for rugby over football....this being Americans mind you....that they weren't SMART enough to play football.....in the three years I played rugby, we never had anything more then a piece of paper with a few 'set' playes on it...compared to an entire playbook I used in two & a half years as a college fullback, calling scheme, aduibles...etc......so my take.....form playing BOTH sports...

Football, much more violent and cerebral at the same time.....

Rugby, more instinctual & faster.....

But football players being PUSSIES??? You go tell the biggest rugger out there to tell that to a 6'7" 360lb NFL lineman.....I'm sure he'll decline

Later!!
