OR

Post / Vote away!

 

I think Rugby definitely, so many injuries.

 

whats the diff between em?

 

^ Youtube mate..

have a look. Should have gotten a few vids.

 

I'm from Australia and I would have to say both codes of rugby are much better than American Football. In rugby the hits are just as hard, much more frequent and they are not wearing padding + helmets. Rugby is also much more enterrtaining to watch and play.

 

Agreed , but some hits in American football are pretty ruthless to.

 

ehh, idk much about rugby, but i play football(american)I think rugby is a little bit more brutal, but football is more tactical.

 

It really depends whos playing lol =p but i think id feel alot safer in a helmet and padding though so rugby wins poll for sure.

 

Yay! go rugby! Keep voting guys!

Not as bad since you have so much protection from the hits.

Rugby is more physical, and probably better to watch in my opinion.

I used to play tighthead prop before I got injured. Loved it

 

Rugby demands a tough, intelligent and fit player for every position.
Football has a few intelligent players, a few fit players, and a few tough players, but very few teams have that all stacked into each position.

Rugby hits can hurt a lot more, of course depending on whose hitting you. The problem is the wrap slows down the hit a bit, but still hits are bone crunching.

Football if hurts to get hit in a few places but most of the hits taken aren't that painful just kind of a shock. In less you get your hand caught in someones face mask or you get hit in the knee caps the hits won't hurt that much. (of course that depends on whose doing the hitting I suppose)
