It's a real mans sport with lots of strategy. It builds a bond between players. It is also one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.

Hard hitting, fast paced. Great fun. Not, as many have mentioned, an excuse to get in a fight. In fact, fights don't often happen, and when they do, they're over rather quickly. Very little padding (only a scrum cap, and perhaps some shoulder pads---Neither of which make you a pussy. Plenty of pro players use them). A true game for all. No if, and, or buts. Anyone and everyone can play, there's a position to fit each (Just ask our former hooker, who's about 4'10", 90 pounds soaking wet).
Elegant Violence.
Brimming with camraderie. You play, kick some ass, and go party afterwards.
Go All Blacks! New Zealand for the Cup!
American Football stems from this.

Rugby Union: Great sport played by 15 hard bastard athletes. Lots of variation in play and tactics.
Rugby League: Version of Union simplified for the mind workings of Northern Chav followers. Mainly consists of one man hurling himself at 3 opponents 5 times then kicking the ball.

Probably the manliest sport in the world, boasting amazing athletes such as Jonah Lomu and Piri Weepu. Though constantly made fun of by Football fans (American and actual Football), little do they know that as pre-game snacks, rugby players eat people like David Beckham.
