In rugby or football? How fast are rugby players? Can any of them run sub 4.2 in the 40m? Can any of them bench press 450 lbs? Your obviously biased question stems from your ignorance of the game. However, I do not take away anything from the rugby players. New Zealands team is outstanding.

why do European people always think that Americans are girly for wearing pads first of all you show me a rugby player that can hit half as hard as Ronny Lott, Ray Lewis, or Ed Reed, and besides are their any Ruby players that are 6'5" 320 pounds with a 4.5 40 yard dash time that can block like Larry Allen and maybe rugby players would stand a chance. I've never seen a rugby player with Randy Moss, T.O. and Reggie Bush speed. So to answer your question there aint no way in hell that a rugby team could beat an NFL team,
so just stick to playing futbol.

In general American football players are faster, stronger, and much bigger than rugby players. The reason they wear pads is because people literally died before they began wearing pads. There are many guys who can run 36.6 meters in 4.3 or 4.4 seconds in the NFL and even they are ripped.
I don't think this guy would need pads to kick the asses of rugby players in a match of American football or rugby.

Without those girly american footballers grandparents, would you be speaking German right now? I've played both rugby and football in organized leagues, rugby isn't as rough as you europeans like to think it is.

I would love for a group of Rugby players with no pads to play an NFL team in football. Enjoy your stay in ICU.

Hell yes!!! Rugby players are strong and all but don't have any knowledge or football experience. Even if they did I still don't believe the there best players could bet the NFL's best.

Of course, they're much better athletes. Besides, the Rugby players are usually too busy drinking and playing grabass.

Dude you are a complete dumbass. Pro Rugby players could not even compete with our Collegiate players. I wish they would play each other just shut people like you up.
