By Tus 1153222053 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeall you people that say that have something against football are dumbasses. Just shut up and go on with your lives. You are getting mad over nothing. Just look at all the posts about rugbee is tougher than football and all them other S**t Look at them carefully and you can see how much of a dumbass you look. Oh so a couple of people on the internet says that football is tougher, who gives a S**t , its the fucken internet. Grow up and be more mature.
OH and BTW, people on Metacafe are the most racist fuckers I've ever seen. As americans never say anything bad about any other religion or country, You guys constantly make bad and racist remarks about us. What the hell did we ever do to you guys?
Just shut up and keep your damn comments to your self.
typical yank tells everyone else to keep their opinions to themselves but we have to read your S**t ? why is it that your american football has a world cup and only your country is in it? and i have tried to watch american football but after the first 3 hours i woke up and turned it over the game suits your race though theres only one main player and the rest are there to defend or attack true yank style!!!!

we are atleast smart by not just runing in to each other and in rugby u dont get hit half as hard as in football NOT EVEN CLOSE U P***y
By BABE RUTH 2010 1150080858 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removerugby is much tougher den football
k lets see football players=6'3" 230lbs of muscle at least for a linebacker or so
rugby players=6' 175lbs
i will give rugby guys the advantage that they have to be fit to run, run, and run but i would rather get hit in rugby than in football
IN FOOTBALL THEY HAVE PADS AND HELMETS
SO IT DOESN'T HURT
RETARD
BEING HIT WITH PADS HURTS LESS THAT BEING HIT WITH NOTHING
AND THEY DONT HIT HALF ASS HARD AS FOOTBALL PLAYERS

If anyone can remember about 10 years ago the Denver Bronco's came to Australia to play the Brisbane Bronco's in a Rugby League match, the game was stopped after 20 minutes because the DENVER BRONCO'S were complaining that it was too rough, they were getting to many injuries and they couldnt keep up with the Brisbane Bronco players. That is proof that Rugby players are 100 time fitter and more skilled than NFL players. Oh yeah by the way, the Front Rowers in Rugby can weigh anywhere between 115kg(253 pounds) to 145kg(319 pounds) and they still run like the wind, difference is that they are pure muscle and not obese like the defenders in NRL.
Go the Knights.....
Thats fine, why dont the Brisbane Broncos come on over to Invesco Field, Suit up and just see how they stand against someone like Tatum Bell or see how they like Josh Buhl Putting a facemask dead in there earhole. Its not who is better than who or who's sport is tougher its about how well you know your sport and how well you play it. Better yet lets put them both on the bench press thats would be somthing they would both be good at.
By Jay29 1145887666 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAmerican football might be tough but it is on everage only 10 mins that actually gets played out of the entire match, rugby is 80 mins none stop, the tackles are no different in rugby as they are in american football because the players are the same size and build, yet the rugby players dont wear pads. and the other difference is rugby teams dont have 100 players!! its no difference which one is harder more grulling and more intense! i once saw a rugby player (who was also a surgeon) i think his name was something lawrence... he slashed his face open on the field, ran off, sewed it up himself and carried on playing!
By hihosilver 1143638264 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove...an American football player fracture his shin, have it taped up and go back out to play. And claiming only 10 minutes is played is absolute proof you've never played the game.

By Jay29 1145888047 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethere was a rugby player called buck shelford. he went off twice in his career once because his sack ripped open he got some supportting tape and taped it back together, the other time he went to the sideline spat out his teeth and kept on going, that of course was before the law came out that when you start bleeding you have to go to the blood bin
Idiots All! American football players do not play or attempt rugby because, THEY LIKE TO GET PAID...and work in their homeland. Rugby does not pay in America!!! If properly trained, either athlete would likely excel at the others sport.
Coming from someone who has played both American Football and Rugby Union, they are two different games. American football players need to wear helmets because they have direct head on collisions, not to say that rugby tackling isn't tough. Over all though you have to better all around athlete to play rugby for 80. Rugby players aren't smaller the NFL players either, they are just in better cardiovascular shape. Like orangecrush said, if you trained NFL atheletes to play rugby they would be just as good as the players in the Super 14. They are two different sports and they are both tough as S**t , and unless you play one of them you shouldnt be posting on the subject.

It's a non stop game with no pads so if you keep gettin hit the play doesnt end and that does alot of wear and tear on your body.

By cipri_olaru 1142438215 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSee a American Football player might not last the whole 80 min maybe 40, but I know for a fact before he was done that one football player would have taken out at least 8- 10 rugby guys. If a Rugby guy tried just 4 downs in football the man would be in the hospital.
Please, just because they don't use pads don't mean crap thats highschool stuff.
PLUS THE RUGBY GUYS ARE LITTLE GUYS MAYBE 5'8" 175LBS, THEY DON'T NEED PADS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HIT THAT HARD THAT OFTEN.
I will give it to them that they have better endurance, but when you have guys that avg. about 6'5" 280lbs there strength will surpass Rugby guys. The HARDEST hits of the Rugby guys are nothing compared to the average hits of football players 280lbs running damn near as fast as one of your Rugby players, to not wear pads would be certain injury and death to any Rugby player.
Now Im all for supporting stuff you like but theres no room for ignorance, and saying Rugby is way tougher than American Football is an example of full blown IGNORANCE.
Now if we want to really say whos tougher, I would have to say these little stupid skating punks take the cake, Ive known a couple Pro skaters, (NO IM NOT A SKATING FAN) I would hang out with them and these guys can take a beating and keep on ticking.
But back to the Rugby thing, I don't like Football or Rugby really but its without any doubt that Football might not have the endurance but football has the strengh and some good endurance, so American Football would be the tougher sport.
DID YOU KNOW THAT A LOT OF EX RUGBY MEN PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN NFL ???
SOME OF THEM ARE LINEBACKER OR KICKER...
BUT AMERICAN FOOTBALLERS CAN'T PLAY RUGBY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES RUGBY SKILLS 5RUGBY IS A TRUE TEAM SPORT) AND BEING AN OVERALL GREAT ATHLETE...
DON'T COMPARE THE SIZE OFTHE PLAYERS...
AMERICAN PLAYERS ARE FAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED TO RUN LIKE THE RUGBY PLAYERS
THE LINEMEN CAN'T RUN THATS WHY THEY ARE FAT, IN RUGBY ALL THE PLAYERS HAVE TO RUN !!! AND THEY RUN 80 MINUTES !!!!
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FAT MARATHON MAN ???
RUGBY PLAYERS NEED TO BE FIT...
TOO SAD I CAN'T POST THE SERIOUS ARTCLE ABOUT FOOTBALL AND RUGBY, YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE...
MANY AMERICAN SPORT SPECIALISTS THAT KNOW BOTH GAMES AGREE THAT RUGBY REQUIRES MORE SKILLS AND ATHLETCI QUALITIES...
RUGBY ARE OVERALL BETTER ATHLETES, THEY CAN RUN FAST, THEY HAVE STRENTH THEY HAVE ENDURANCE... AND THEY ARE TOUGH...
GUYS LIKE JEROME BETTIS WOULD NEVER LAST 10 MINUTES, HE'S NOT EVEN ABLE TO PLAY 20 MINUTES IN AMERICAN FOOTBALL DESPITE ALL THE BREAKS, THE TIMEOUTS TO REST...
Ha, don't make me laugh, I'm 5'8" and if I were ever to walk out onto a rugby pitch...of any level...I would be dwarfed by all the players out there! And if u reckon that American footballers run faster and hit harder than rugby players I ask u to watch any international match where the likes of Lawrence Delagio, Jonah Lomu or Martin Johnson are playing. These guys are all 6'5"+, pure muscle and the run into, and hit the opponents VERY hard. I've yet to see an American sport where they don't wear excesive padding to protect themselves, for christs sake, they even wear a massive glove to catch a baseball which, yes, it is soft! If u want a comparison, try a cricket ball and stand at silly point....that's about 3.yds away from the batsman for all you yanks that don't know. Unbelieveable!

By batty-2k6 1145464443 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDebating which sport is tougher and which players are real men is so trivial that i shouldn't even start, but seeing as every single American and Non-American in this board is so ignorant as to argue the point on which sport is for men, to tell you the truth, both sports are for REAL men.
I am from Australia, and i follow Rugby League, Rugby Union and American Football, what most people say about American Football is that they are all pussies because they wear pads, they are not pussies, they do not have the choice to wear padding or not. Both codes of rugby use minimal padding, some players choose to wear shoulder padding and head gear, but alot don't. In Rugby League if you get a gash anywhere on your body, they get out a staple gun and staple it together, and put you back on the field. I recently read a book on an ex- Rugby League superstar named Brad Fittler, he mentions in the book that everytime he was injured in a game, he was either stapled back up, or given a painkiller and sent back out there. Both sports are very tough, but Rugby League is the toughest.
u tock shite rugby is way better than amkerican football
rugby leauge and american football
are so S**t and boring
Now, i dont know much about Rugby. But i do know that American Football isnt a "sissy" sport. Sure, we wear pads, but thats for a reason. In rugby, your running with the and people are chasing you. In football, you charge straight at each other. It would be devastated collisions that would SERIOUSLY damage anybody, rugby player or not, without wearing shoulder pads. In football, you never know wear your going to get hit. It could be down low, to trip you, or up high, almost knocking your head off. This is the reason you wear pads: SO YOU DONT GET KILLED. Depending on the position, you could go out on the field rarely, or you stay on the field the whole game. You have to endure huge hits from anywhere for about 2 hours. Sure, in rugby you get hit too, but they're always behind you. So next time you try to call a sport "sissy", at least make an attempt at researching first.
By american_man_777 1142459697 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeas a Brit with considerable experience of playing representative rugby, i'd like to point out that hits in rugby, too, come from all different directions, with the majority being front-on. i don't doubt the force of hits in American Football, but comparing the two is somewhat pointless, since in rugby an ideal tackle will drive the vall-carrier backwards and turn the man so he is unable to present the ball for his team to recycle - what is known as a 'turnover' - technique and timing are crucial since to hit a 300 pound man running full tilt towards you below the waist in order to drive him backwards is a tricky task requiring considerable expertise rather than brute force. likewise, the scrum requires masterful technique - the front row forwards take the impact of 16 men colliding with an average wieght of some 4000 lbs directly on the neck. horrific injuries do sadly occur, but the fact that there are so few is testament to the skill of the players rather than any lack of physical force.
the beauty of rugby, for me, is the speed and intensity of the game. players are expected to last 80 mins of constant running, passing, tackling, rucking and mauling, requiring an incredible level of speed, skill, agility, mental alertness and intelligence. every player on the pitch is expected to be able to make crucial decisions, to be able to tackle, pass, run with the ball etc. to a high standard - the same cannot be said for American Football. each to his own, but for me rugby has it all - pace, intensity, skill and aggression.
for the benefit of those for whom size is everything, i might add that whist every rugby team has a few little chaps, what the lack in size they make up in technique. at 5'11" and 190 lbs i am one of the smallest players on my team, yet guys like me are required to put high-pressure hits on 300 lb men - it's a matter of technique, not just brute force.
finally someone who likes rugby and respects different sports
u seem much more intelligent and understanding than ambro
The forwards in rugby range from 250 lbs to 320 lbs. The players run straight at each other at full speed. The hits can be just as vicious as any I ever experienced or delivered while playing American football. Who ever wrote that rugby players are little guys has never seen the sport played. Jonah Lomu was/is a (running) back for the All Blacks who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys but never played in the NFL. He is 6' 5" tall and weighs 270 lbs and he has sprinters speed. I think that he has retired from rugby due to a kidney disease; I am not sure because he was trying to make a comeback after a kidney transplant. He is a tough son of a bitch. While American footballers are not sissies by a long shot, they would not last 20 minutes in a rugby match.

FOOTBALLPLAYERS HAVE NO ENDURANCE, THEY ARE ONLY TRAINED TO HAVE A SHORT BURST ENDURANCE...
THEY WOULD BE KILLED IN RUGBY GAME...
HAHAHAHAHA
FOOTBALL PLAYERS NEED BREATH OF OXYGEN AFTER EACH PLAY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ENDURANCE...
HAHAHAHA, PUSSIES !!!!!
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IN NFL, TEAMS PLAY WITH TWO TEAMS, A DEFENSIVE TEAM AND AN OFFENSIVE TEAM, IN RUGBY THEY PLAY OFFENSE AND DEFENSE WITH THE SAME PLAYERS NON STOP, THE GAME NEVER STOP!!! 80 MINUTES OF RUNNING AND BEING HITS !!!
I WANT TO SEE THOSE SO CALLED GREAT AMERICAN ATHLETES PLAYING NON STOP, WITHOUT HELMETS AND PADS, GETTING HITS, RUNNING DURING FULL 80 MINUTES NON STOP !!!!!!!
WHAT A JOKE !!!!!!!!
IN RUGBY, THERE IS NO BREAKS, NO TIMEOUTS, NO ADS TO REST, WHEN YOU WATCH A NFL GAME, YOU SEE THE PLAYERS ON THE BENCH MOST OF THE TIME...
WAY TOO EASY...
What do you call working oput with about 350 lbs on the bench alone Get real man
By Jay29 1145888401 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeobviosuly football players would get killed in a rugby match... THEIR TRAINED TO PLAY FOOTBALL not rugby... im sure rugby players owuld get killed ina football match because well.. YOU GUESSED IT....they arent trained to play football... we know that there are fat ppl in football... its part of the game... its how the game was invented to be played... u cant make fun of a football player for being what hes supposed to be... im sure if football was more of a nonstop endurance game... football players would train to be like that... as for which sport is tougher?? well pretty much everyones opinion here is baised considering where they are from or if they only play one or the other... both games are great for different reasons... u got guys in the NFL that can bench 700 lbs and u got guys in rugby that can run forever... you cant compare them...

By BABE RUTH 2010 1150081443 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeive done both sports (not big time but in recreation) i oould have to say that american football is MUCH harder. its not a question of size in either sport (but it does help) but more af a matter of speed. in rugby there are positions so at any one time there can be one guy standing around. in football however we get a 20 min time to huddle up and plan how and when we're going to hit the other guy. plus running hard then suddenly having to stop for a straight hour kills u. but dont get me wrong, rugby is very tough too but football is a LOT harder

By annie1108 1142311806 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAll I see is a lot of slapping and clawing. Whatta catfight! Swing that purse - claw their eyes out! All that's missing is some wigs and dresses and we have a Monty Python sketch. Seriously, violence like this is bound to happen in all sports where physical contact and frustration is high. I bet that like ice hockey, these fights produce mostly just busted teeth, black eyes and broken noses. I bet some players are even buying each other drinks later and laughing about it all. Rugby, football (soccer), and American football players are ALL "real men". They play hard and pay for it with their bodies. All of them have crippling effects later in life from such a rough profession. I guess it becomes an argument of who then is "more" crippled up and old before their physical age would suggest.

By JanosIH 1141870137 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveConsidering that I play BOTH sports I can say there is far more fear in american football. The hit comes from anywhere. Rugby the hit is always in front of you. Rugby is rough, nfl is dangerous, theres a differenece. Danger needs protection
By 165 1141495436 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNFL players play with pads helmets and they never get hits hardly...
And you have timeouts and breaks to rest on the bench...
Rugby is far more dangerous because you get hit with NO PROTECTION
RUGBY WOULD KILL ANY NFL Players... because the game never stop, you have to run again and again...
Plus when you say that in Rugby hits are always in front proves us that you have nver watched any RUGBY games on TV... LMAO
Hits come from everywhere ...
And when you get hit it in Rugby it hurts 10 more times than any football hit...
The funiest thing is that one fat NFL player can kick your ass all the way to china motherF. hahahaha

Travis Henry of the Buffalo Bills outruns the defense of the Indianapolis Colt during a game earlier this season.
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -- Can you imagine that? The color commentary is overflowing with compassion for these alleged stellar athletes, bemoaning the fact that they are likely exhausted, unable to perform up to par, commiserating with their ineptitude and stopping short of dialing 911 for back up. They have been on the field for 20 minutes. Quick, someone get me the extra oxygen, a blanket, rocking chair, Xerox copies of their last paycheck and a few old press releases about their stamina and all the pills they have been popping in the locker room.
How about a reality check?
The average NFL game, and they are all average today, consists of about 12 minutes of actual contact. If you do not believe that, do yourself a favor and tape a game but remember to eliminate all the commercials, time-outs, the walking around, replays, getting up off the turf, dances in the end zone and injury delays.
Given that, 20 minutes consists of one-third of the total game time of 60 minutes. Simple math. If the contact, such that it is, takes 12 minutes, then we are speaking of one-fifth of the total game time. Consequently, one-fifth of the 20 minutes referred to amounts to four minutes of actual contact time for the defense. Stated more simply, but equally as effective, one-third of the 12 minutes is four. You get there no matter what route you travel. Wow! Be still my beating and humanitarian heart.
These are the same guys that spent valuable time during the week bench-pressing small Volkswagens, running wind sprints and knocking tackle dummies, not to be confused with some of the players on their own team, all over the practice gridiron. And, the last time I looked at the game it struck me that the offensive line was out there the same amount of time as the defense. Are we to presume that the offense is really a group of Energizer bunnies in disguise and they do not wear out as quickly as the less than charged defense? My last view was that these two groups of men are banging heads, helmets, shoulder pads and knees to the groin when the officials are not looking. I guess that the offensive mythical 20 minutes are separate and apart from those of the defense and are probably spent, according to the color commentator, in some beach chairs on the sidelines.
Is it possible that the defense is just tired of being beaten by a better team, that they are bored with seeing the running backs of the opposition going around and through them as though they were a sieve? Maybe they are weary of watching their cornerbacks beaten to the ball every time. The apathy and listlessness is contagious and, at the same time, transmissible to everyone else along the defensive line. It spreads like the plague.
The Ravens' defense catches its breath between plays.
Still, what we are speaking of
it took me one-fifth of an hour to read your essay but you did not have a thesis. C- and see me after class. :(
By sikatriz 1141625659 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeone of your delays was an "injury delay" lol football must be a P***y sport then right? lol idiot
By Eraq_22 1144221934 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove when the commentators refer to those less than memorable 20 minutes is four minutes of actual contact. Break that down in some of the salaries being given to these behemoths of the sport and you might be speaking of a $100,000 a minute. And, for that amount of money, they cannot exert themselves other than to pant, S**k air, seek out the oxygen mask, clutch those enormous guts that are defying the law of gravity and believe what the commentators say, that they, in effect, are overworked and we cannot expect much more than a few seconds of definable effort from them?
They are in their early twenties and in the prime of their athletic lives. If they had any more pills in their locker rooms they could open a drug store. They eat enough food to feed most of Bulgaria…and that is just for breakfast. They are catered to more than your favorite Bentley or Rolls Royce. There are as many trainers and doctors on the sidelines as there are coaches. Personal trainers fill the first row behind the bench, making feverish notes on how to improve performance. Wives sit in the stands and dream about love-making that has been put on hold for the game, maybe the season, to make sure that production and accomplishment on the field is far better than that in the bedroom. Dieticians are testing lions, tigers and elephants, not to mention a few carnivorous bears, with menus that will be the mainstay of the linemen. The exercise equipment beneath the stadium is equaled only by that which graces the offices of the manufacturer. The most expensive spas in the world visit and copy the excesses foisted upon these replicas of Paul Bunyan.
Yet, they are thought to be over-worked for the 20 consecutive minutes spent on the playing field, only four of which consist of any potential contact. It is well to remember that, during a goodly potion of this time frame, the secondary jogs around in as much a spectator role as you or I.
No pity here and only disdain for the inaccurate television commentary as well as the less than premiere efforts of any lineman that is out on the field for an NFL contest. Are these players truly the fatigued, debilitated and exhausted wimps that the color commentators make them out to be? You gotta be kidding me!
