Showing Original Post only (View all)Rugby vs American 'football' [View all]
Just watched England versus France this weekend, which England won - 19-14 (that was a surprise, it's England after all) - and got to thinking about how much more difficult a game rugby is.
Two 40 minute halves, very little padding, everybody runs all the time, and the field is larger.
Plus it's a lot more exciting.
No cheer leaders, but there is singing.

Both soccer and rugby move at about 4 times the speed of American "football".
