American football is a real sport...even with the pads and helmets.

Your point?

Most rugby players wear some sort of padding (though limited) these days though. Actually since shoulder pads have been allowed without having to have a doctors consent, injuries have went up as players go into tackles much harder than they used to because they think the foam protection they wear will save them from injury

Rugby is #1

Played one year for my college...used to be d4. now i think we're close to being in d1.

one of the best sports there is to play because there's so much focus on working together. no way will one man score by himself without everyone else taking a hit. i've always wanted to follow it but i don't know too much about rugby leagues. anyone else?

Rugby league is a spin off from Rugby union as in the early 1900's "union" was an amatuer sport.

Players of union were getting injured playing and as a result losing the ability to earn money to support their families, so there was a splinter off from union and league (professional game) was born.

I played centre for 10 minutes in my final game when I was at school...I had spent 3 years saying i should be playing centre instead of hooker...went on a crash ball and got absolutely creamed...one dead leg later...my school's rugby career ended in shame

All Blacks! I Love the sport played a little in Wanganui about 20 years ago.

I got this huge All Blacks flag with the haka on it and the Kiwi flag from the New Zealanders we knew in Aghanistan..I hung in my garage next to my Patriots flag. All we watched was All blacks video's while i was in school so I guess their my team.

Great game this morning (I'm in Ireland) between the Brumbies and the Crusaders, no tries but a really intense, hard game.

i only played rugby so i could touch my fellow teamates genitlas from my executive position of second row forward.....great times, rugby is a mentality and not just a sport, tho watching club rugby as a apposed to international rugby isnt the same thing, club rugby can be pretty poor standard especially in england, exceptions for rugby league as thats 100 hundred miles an hour adrenaline

Where abouts in Ireland are you? I was playing down in Galway earlier this year and had a couple of people from the Connacht team having a look at me but sprained my ankel badly tho so that was the end of that

Cronulla havn't been the same since E.T. left

Now that was a player, and a true club man!

In New Zealand all we have is the All Blacks! No one cares about anything else.... when we have lost at the last few world cup's the country goes into mourning and an economic recession happens.

Your Maaaaa - being put on the block and having 15 musclebears drill you is not playing to a high standard

There are enough untalented New Zealanders in Ireland making money because of their accents, we don't need another one

Where you playing for Galwegians then? I live in Ulster...haven't played much rugby recently due to a back injury.

I met E.T last Wednesday at Syd Airport, I was comming home and he was flying out.. I walked up to him and said "E.T..You're a legend, I'm a big fan" and he responded.. "sheesh thanks buddy, I thought for a second you were a prop I played against, you had me worried when you came up"..
