alright, for everyone here that thinks that real football (not soccer, you dumbasses) is a pussy sport, i dare you to try it. yea it has pads involved, but that's because the players can be up to three times the size of rugby players (literally). It is much more dangerous to get wrecked by a 450 lb gorilla than a 225 lb rugby player. Sorry to use the American incriments, but im too lazy to convert it. with that said, im playing for the rugby team this yr, instead of lacrosse (at least for now) and so far it is very fun. Having experience both, I can say honest to god that football is definately a more painful sport, and without pads there would be fatalities in every game. However, there is something about the flow of rugby that makes it just as satisfying as American football. The fluidness of passes and teh fact that plays dont stop after someone gets tackled makes rugby a much more elegant game.It's soccer, football and lacrosse all bundled into one amazing sport. While I am still partial to American football because I have been playing it longer and it has become a part of me, rugby is definately a great sport. You Europeans were definately right abt one thing, and its rugby.
