because otherwise there would be a crapload of injuries and the game would be stupid and pointless

edit: that goes for football and basketball

how is kicking a ball around with a bunch of guy manly but getting your your brains bashed in by 300 pound lineman sappost to be pussy stuff

haven't we already been through this in a thread awhile back?

look, simple as stated above!
YOU go out onto an AMERICAN FOOTBALL feild and have a 300 lb lineman run you down from behind AND LAY THE SMACK DOWN ON YOUR ASS!!!, and then you come talk to me about pussy sports!!

You guys have never played rugby against Moari's or Samoan's, have you? 300lb, sheesh, that's what those guys call alight snack.

And speaking of which, the hit just as hard in AFL without protection

I play rugby...but I am not going to say football is for pussies...this is just a ridiculous American bashing thread...

Let Ray Lewis play rugby and we'll see all out decapitations.

word yo...nfl players are some of the toughest athletes in the world....i bet if they took off their pads they would kick the shit out of any rugby team out there.

Call this guy a pussy. To his face. Go ahead, I'd like to see what happens.

theres football and theres games.....what one do u play?
go take a look at the hit in the Boston College Clemson game and thats not even pro

Ruggers do it for eighty minutes, unprotected...

plus, you cant bite someone through a helmet... our scrumhalf bit a guy and and then drank a beer with him... does that happen in football?

linemen work for about 20 seconds tops, then have a break as everyone sets up for a play, i play prop... when i get out of a scrum i ruck then i tackle then i ruck again, then another scrum... my world is a blur of contact for 2 hours on saturdays.

Now thats just plain mean

its not all bout getting hit either.u ever read a play book???there is some smarts to it

take a look at this

go here, just like football, no pads. the only reason nobody goes airborne is cause it is illegal to hit someone who is off their feet, ive seen a guy break ribs in one illegal hit. there are no plays in rugby, you have to think on your feet, everything is different, you cant memorize everything, it just doesnt work like that.

why do noobs always start threads like this?

Why do they wear pads? Well because maybe they are smart enough to know that if you are smacked around enough you actually can get hurt and can't play and make the millions of dollars a year that they make. How much money do rugby players make? I used to play a form of rugby as a teenager we called it smeer the queer.

What a pussy!

this is a stupid fucking thread. I've played both rugby and American football. I played Div. 1 College Football. Why can't some people just accept that both sports are tough. The real athletes of both sports usually respect the other sport. There is no reason to hate. Some gridiron guys wouldnt last 10 minutes in a game of rugby. Some rugby players wouldnt last 10 minutes in a game of American football. They are different sports, with different governing rules, and different required skill sets. Ya'll are trying to compare apples and oranges. Personally, I love any athletic competition. I enjoy the contest no matter what the rules. By the way perscarconganas I have probably got drunk with you before, I played my college ball at NMSU and I attended a few rugby parties. Say hey to Lucas for me.
