Rugby, called "The Game Played in Heaven" by supporters and players alike, comes in two flavours; League and Union. Leauge is a rapidly moving game with the emphasis on skilful passing and kicking. Tackles are limited; running out of tackles results in the ball changing hands. The game is more glamorous and enjoys plenty of success on TV. Union is slower but allows for more continuity, with play only stopping if someone stuffs up or goes outside or scores etc. Forwards have a more emphasized role in that they are expected to maintain control of the ball (using brute force) if the ball-carrier is tackled. (\<-personal preference) Both games are brutal and hard-hitting, using very little body armour when stacked up against comparable games like Gridiron, and several deaths have occurred on the field, even at schoolboy level. Despite the game's obvious merits, some people tend to misconstrue the high-intensity play as being a homosexual act. This can usually be linked to their own (latent or otherwise) homosexual tendencies. Also, the misconception that Rugby is played by 'preppy blokes in private schools' is a fallacy- Rugby can be played by preppy blokes, bogans, drongos, jocks, academics, farmboys, yuppies (i.e everyone- as long as their not wimps or averse to copious amounts of pain).

A ruffian's game played by gentlemen. Rugby is a fast, skilled, team-oriented game combining the tactical complexity and physical brutality of American football (only without the padding) with the continuity and pace of soccer and the scoring rate of lacrosse. Unlike many other sports, rugby has succeeded in maintaining as part of its culture respect for both the opponents and the referee. Players are seldom heard to argue with the ref and after the game, both teams and the ref can usually be found drinking and socialising together in the clubhouse. There are two distinct types of rugby: union and league. They play to separate systems of rules and both have their merits. The split dates back to 1895 when the game was unified and amateur. The sport's governing body (the RFU) refused to allow a number of clubs in the North of England to pay their players (many of whom were miners) for time lost from work in their services to the club. The RFU even threatened to ban the players for life if they were found to have been paid - they saw professionalism as an evil threat to the values of the game (read: the big, poor, burly miners would beat up the rich wimps if they played on a level footing). So the Northern clubs seceded from the Rugby Football Union to form the Rugby Football League and made rules changes to speed the game up. League is a simpler, faster game than Union. The pitch is the same size as Union, but teams consist of only 13 players, so there is effectively more space. Contest for the ball at the tackle is not permitted - instead a team has only 6 tackles worth of possession before the ball is turned over (a bit like downs in American football, but without stopping after every play). This leads to the tactic of teams kicking the ball upfield after their 5th tackle in order to give their opponents as poor a field position as possible. Union is a much more complicated game than League. Contest for the ball is permitted and encouraged at every phase of play - tackle, scrum, ruck, maul, line-out, the lot - leading to a greater number of turnovers and hence a more fluid game. There are 15 men on a Union team, so space is more limited, meaning there is less opportunity for individual brilliance and a greater reliance on the team to function as a unit, and consequently more obvious player specialisation. Personally, I prefer Union, bubt they're both good games.

The rugby team's looking good for promotion this year...

An awesome game requiring teamwork, fitness and copious amounts of hatred for your fellow humanity. Points are scored by touching the ball down past the opponent's goal line (called a try-worth 5 points), or kicking the ball through the H-shaped goal posts above the crossbar (a conversion or penalty kick, worth 2 and 3 points respectively) Demanding and lots of fun. Union, although slower than League, has less annoying stoppages, and more forwards which can only be a good thing (silly backs, always knocking on the ball and being unappreciative of the hard work we do to win it).

A thugs game played by gentlemen. The worlds greatest game, not like the pussyish 'sports' of football(socccer) and american football. In rugby you don't wear girly padding and you definatly don't go down if someone breathes on you (soccer). There is no stabbing in the back, what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch. Basically, in rugby the two teams kick the shit out of each other for 80 minutes and then they go and talk about what a great time it was in the clubhouse over copious amounts of beer. Also if there is a fight, no-one stands around watching, no no no, they all pile in for a good old scrap.

As a sport, rugby shits all over all other 'sports'.

"In our country, true teams rarely exist ... social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit ... Yet these rugby players, with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and men who play on that rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever be. The foolish emptiness we think we perceive in their existence is only our own." - Victor Cahn

a sport played by real men that aren't afraid to get tackled. unlike that poofy padded up to ur fuckin balls sport that u fat americans play that stops every 10 seconds. every time an american football player gets past the first down line they fall to the ground or run out of bounds cos they are scared of getting tackled even though they are covered from head to toe in pads and bubble wrap. fuckin pussies. saying that pads make the game tougher is bollocks. there are more concussions and serious injuries in rugby than any other ball sport, FACT. saying that rugby and REAL football have no strategy just cos they dont have to remember hundreds of plays just shows how retarded you are. sport is supposed to be about physical fitness and skill. not a fucking memory game. american football game might last longer but that dont mean the players have more endurance and stamina, cos most of the time they are standing around doing fuck all between the plays and only half the team play at a time.

Union: A game that takes balls to play. Gibby is playing it in heaven right now. If you are part of the pack you fight over the ball every time there is a tackle and make up the entire scrum. Tight (3) or Loose (1), propping always hurts. You get both sides of the scrum squeezing your vertebrae together. 2nd rowers (locks)(4/5) love to grab props nads. Flankers always break off early on the defensive side and make the tackle (6/7). The 8-man is pretty versatile in that he both stops the ball with his feet and does 8-man pickups. He tends to be a large, strong, technically sound player. The best forward \#2- Hooker is an incredibly important and difficult position. They can vary in size from the largest to the smallest player on the team. In every scrum he must either get the ball from the scrumhalf and hook it back with his foot or try to steal it from the other hooker (I love doing that from tighthead). It is the position with the most pressure as well as the most dangerous position if a scrum collapses. (I have had 400 kilos/880 pounds on my neck). Hookers also throw the ball in during lineouts. If you are a back you can be a pansy and kick it away, be an intelligent back and pass it just as you are tackled, be a manly back and get tackled by a forward who is twice your size, dodge around people and score, or try to imitate Johnny Wilkinson. There are 7 backs. The Scrumhalf (9) is similar to a quarterback in American Football. It is the scrumhalf's job to toss the ball out at every ruck. They are excellent decision makers. The Flyhalf (10) is usually a good kicker and is the scrumhalf's backup. He is always ready to be the first pass out from the scrumhalf but can be ignored entirely or skipped. The inside and outside centers blend together and are just people who get passed to (12/13). The wingers cover the sides of the field and can also kick. The best back \#15- The Fullback. Possibly the most mentally stressful position. On offense, he melds with the backline and does as much or more than the outside centers. The last line of defense for the rugby team. Any kick that goes deep into either team's territory will be recovered by the fullback or will be a try. Some fullbacks are more skilled than punt returners in American Football and will break three or four tackles befor going down. If a player breaks a long run and gets passed all the other players, he has a one on one with the fullback. Fullbacks are without question the best tacklers. They never miss. League: Like union with less players and without rucking, a bit slow. Mainly Aussies (Roosters) and some Kiwis (Warriors)

The fullback caught the ball at the twenty-two and ran it up the touch line to the other twenty-two. As he was tackled he passed the ball to the unmarked hooker who dived in for the try just as five of the other teams players reached him. The finest game of [American] (yes that's right, we play too) High School Rugby. Go Lions, beat Xavier

Going to say it again there are 2 main types of rugby, League = sucks arse, always stopping everytime someone gets tackled and gives time for players to recover Union = the game played in heaven, more rolling sport where you need to be fitter, smarter and have to outwit your oppents, and you can leagally hurt people. its a real mans sport that is for two types of people the piggies (fowards) who use the weight and the backs who sit and comb their hair and use thier speed. Also when you finish union players a it smarter then league boys and the chicks like it :-) Better then Gridion where u need that much padding where we don't need it.

For the pro football guys remember, rugby consist of 15 players actually playing at the same time, unlike football where you have line men that just block each other....Gay....there is no blocking and in the US its quite popular in the north east region. We have our own union called VRU and its fun.....Football is just for a bunch of pussies who dont want to get hurt. We recruiat a lot of black guys to play and whats the first thing they ask....Where are the pads...its the only sport you can legally punch someone, step on them, and ruck the hell out of someone and you are considered a good player...Hockey doesnt go 100 mph maybe 20 on a windy day...American football is lame because hard tackles maybe happen twice a game, they have quaters and only play for 60 minutes with like a hour break in between halfs where in rugby its about 10 minutes here...You also get timeouts in rugby the only time we stop is if the ball goes out or someone scores...No other sport can even come close to the one real sport..

A game that is in fact a lot better than football. You run faster, hit harder, have little rest, get punched on a constant basis because the other team that started it thinks your dirty (it's not my fault), and at least in Wisconsin someone gets a concussion a game. Why do pads make it more dangerous? They cushion you and slow the players down a bit. Football has a stoppage every 10 seconds, while Rugby does not.

I speared a guy so hard in Fond du Lac he didn't get up for a few minutes then ran over and tackled another dude. Finally, I ran after some massive forward and said "Aww, Fuck it I am playing rugby". Then I whipped my body at him to slow him down because he was twice my size and could bench press my whole family.

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 is the ultimate test of overall manliness (strenght, speed, power, strategy, character, loyalty).

An awesome sport requiring teamwork, fitness and willingness to get beat up by the other team. Points are scored by touching the ball down past the opponent's goal line, preferable under the H-shaped goal posts. This is called a try and is worth 5 points. Kicking the ball through the H-shaped goal posts above the crossbar is another point scorer. This, if done directly after scoring a try, is called a conversion and is worth 2 points. If your team gets to try and kick the ball because the other team got a penalty it is called a penalty kick and is worth 3 points. Rugby is demanding and lots of fun. Rugby is a fun game to watch, shout from the sidlines of, and abuse the referees of.

American football hits have been Scientifically proven to be 4 times harder than a rugby hit. Pads are involved in American football, its is a nastier sport. Either way, both are tougher than soccer, which is a joke. The comparison between rugby and soccer is that soccer players are Gentlemen off the field but not on the field. Conversely, Rugby players are gentlemen on the pitch but bad asses off the pitch.

A gay mens sport, where they must play with each other, chase each other, grab each other, make the most awkward positions, where tight short shorts, chase after balls which aint even round. It also takes up alot of TV, usually takes over The Simpsons, which makes rugby more gay\!

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.

in the fall i play football, and in the spring I play rugby.

Code of [football]. Rugby League: Fast exciting sport, played by athletic, hard bastards. Rugby Union: clumsy, overly complicated game for posturing middle class wannabes. Also an excuse for a few beers and shenanigans with spiky desert plants.

Rugby is League is rugby.

Really stupid sport played using a ball that isn't even ball shaped. There are two kinds of it but few people know or care what the difference is. Invented when a thick schoolboy picked up the ball and ran with it during a game of football. Because he was posh he didn't get his head kicked in, instead he was congratulated for inventing a new sport, which was named after the school he attended. I can honestly say I have never spoken to a single person with any interest in rugby.

If you think football is boring to watch, you should see rugby. Or, rather, you shouldn't.

I'm so fucking tired of people saying Football is "Soft Rugby". Now think about this, imagine if your watching a Rugby game, only that all the players had Motorcycle Helmets and VERY hard shoulder pads made of hard plastic. The tackles would be 10x as hard with these items on. While I will admit that these things DO make the tackler feel less pain when they tackle an opposing player, it DOES make the person recieving the tackle hurt A LOT more. Not only that, but the game of Rugby contains no strategy whatsoever. While in Football, you have to memorize over 400+ plays and 17 Formations and you have to do it PERFECTLY. Like for instance, your a Wide Reciever and the QB says "42 red Right" you must know EXACTLY what rout your going to take, whether it's a hook, slant, straight, etc. None of that in Rubgy, you could be a complete dumbass and still be succesful in Rugby, that's not true with football.

Rugby should be renamed "Soft Football With NO Strategy"

A game played by a bunch of euro-trash 200 lb. men who ware really short pants, and is watched by a bunch of rich euro-trash men who think Rugby is better than Football because in football you have pads. Honestly, who could not LIVE through ONE GAME, without pads in football. I mean, a game lasts 4 hours and you get tackled every play. There is one term in football called a sack, where a 400 lb. Defensive End (Who can bench press 200-350 lb.) will tackle the querterback. The QB is 175-225 FUCKIN POUNDS\! Now let me tell you, a hard enough hit could very well paralyze him for life (And it's happened before. Just like when Oakland Raider's Safety Jack Tatum tackled a New England Wide Reciever to paralize him for life in the 80's.) Misconceptions about Football: 1. There usually are no substitutions unless you have a very big lead, becuase the coach dosn't want his players to get severely injured 2. You only get 3 timeouts a half, I mean they are hardly noticible 3. The men in football arn't fat, just very muscular, in both there arms in legs 4. It's not homosexual, just like Rugby's not homosexual. Things that suck about Rugby: 1. It's called a man's sport but is played by women and people in wheelchairs. 2. It's watched by upper-class Euro-trash 3. All of it's fans say it's better than Football but have never seen football game in there life (Unless they live in Germany) 4. It dosn't require nearly enough strategy as football 5. They were very short pants 6. It's a wannabe version of football 7. It's boring compared to Football, Basketball, Baseball, and even SOCCER\! 8. SOCCER is better than this game\!

Yeah football players were pads and helmets, but for one the helmets look cool as fuck and keep both your head from cracking and from 400 lb. men from snapping your neck, and the pads prevent people from giving you bruises all over your body. And Yeah, Rugby dosn't have pads or helmets, but you have to take into account Rugby players arn't that big and a Linebacker or Defensive end in football can be 2x the size of a rugby player, and a defensive end and linebacker both have to tackle men who are half there size. I mean, if American Football didn't have padding everyone on the offense would be dead at the end of the game, as these guys can lift up 300 lb. and can run 40 yards in 4 seconds. Now when you have a 400 lb. guy who can lift 300 lb. and is running 10 yards a second and he's comming right after you that will cause you to be paralyzed every single time, pads or not. All in all, Rugby is for a bunch of rich 200 lb. pussies who argue that it is better and more hard hitting even though football players are twize there size and can run much faster then them. It's a boring sport that's fans are obviously are all idiots and wastes of life because they talk shit about a sport they no nothing about and should just shut there Euro-Trash mouths\! P.S. I know I'm getting a thumbs down for this

Shittiest sport in the world. Everyone says it is a real man's sport, but I don't think I feel comfortable having guys hoisting me up by my shorts... sounds more like a homosexual excuse to touch some other guy's nads.

Rugby sucks. Plain and simple.

1/4 of the game of football. For one, in Football you can forword pass, in Rugby you run, and you flip it to other players. You don't need to be smart in Rugby, because there is no strategy. The whole game is a group of players taking a ball and trying to run with it into an endzone. How is that fun, anyway? I have seen several Rugby games (Mostly at the ESPN Zone in Anaheim) and I honestly have no idea what the hell is so great about it. Tackling in Rugby is latching onto another player and getting them to the ground. In American football tackling is running as fast as you can and delivering a blow to the gut. Other tackles include the helmit to chin move, Where The only thing stopping the person teach from going into there gums is a mouth guard. Becasue there is no strategy, there are no breaks, and as a result it is very fast paced. Maybe in Europe is is a good thing, around here we don't care less about how many commercials there are. Commercails just make the game longer anyway. Most people from europe say it's better than American Football. Most people from europe also do not have American Football. Rugby for girls? Are you retarded? Pads make the game HARDER AND MORE HARD HITTING\!\! Seriesly, who the fuck said football is for pussys\!? HAVE YOU SEEN A GAME OF FOOTBALL\!? Pads add about 15 pounds (8 KG I think) and shoulder and leg pads make a hit hurt ten times worse, and a helmit is made of METAL. Do you know how much it hurts to get a huge ass piece of metal hitting right at your gut?? Obviously, anyone saying that is retarded and shouldn't be aloud to live.

I've watched American Football and Rugby, and American Football is better. Maybe if you've watched both you'd agree.

Spin-off sport of football, which is a real sport. Some twat was a bit shit at football so decided to pick up the ball and run with it. The posh bastards then decide to name their World Cup after him. Has more players in a team than football because posh people can afford more friends.

Noun: (See also [eggchasing]) A bizzare sport played with a ball shaped like an egg that bounces oddly. Created after some guy was so rubbish at football he picked it up and ran with it at private Rugby School, England, also known as Toff's Palace. Also known as 'the Darkest day in Sport' ever. The idea of Rugby is to run the egg over the tryline of the opposing team. Alternative points can be scored by kicking the egg between two goalposts (H-shaped) at the ends of the rectangular pitch. NB: Rugby is a terrible sport. The reasons why follow: - Is the only sport I know that actually ENCOURAGES you to fall on another man's rear - The ball is the wrong shape - Played by snobs who call it 'rugger' - People pretend its an international sport when really only '6 nations' (4 of which are currently or where part of Great Britain) can be arsed to turn up in the whole of Europe (even San Marino cobble together a team for football, 16 countries make up the European Championships in football) and the only other countries who care about rugby are in the Commonwealth - Great Britain owns them\! - Has two forms to disgrace our TV screens with - Union and League - You can kick the egg out of play for your benefit (?) - Anyone under 6'0" can't really get involved Overall, rugby is crap. England are current world champions beating mighty forces in world sport such as Georgia and Romania to the final. A game for closet homosexuals who like to feel men up when in a scrum. Play proper sports that are truly international like golf, tennis and football. Ditch the ugly blot of 'sport' that is rugby.

For God's sake ... Grandstand have Rugby on all day again. Turn on Soccer Saturday - a proper sport everyone cares about\!

Rugby sucks, Football for ever

85. (rugby) (31↑, 149↓)
A sport involving extremely drunk Englishmen. Like hockey, but way lamer, and unpadded, thereby resulting in excessive pain. Oh yeah, they also go about 100 miles an hour (that's 160.9 kph for you europussies) in hockey, thereby proving the supreme dominance of the Sport. Europeans, especially the English, have a deep-seated desire for rugby to truly be the most manly sport ever. Soccer, or "football" (see idunno's definition of [american football],) can also be used to fit this position. Unfortunately, this is a misconception, based on the Europeans' internal fears of inferiority to the Americans.

Englishman: Rugby is a man's sport. Football and American Football are gay. Frenchman: Football is a man's sport. Rugby and American Football are gay. American: FOOTBALL KICKS YOUR SORRY EUROPEAN ASSES AND THEIR GAY SPORTS INTO NEXT WEEK\! ------------------------------------- rugby player 1: "omg\! THE PAIN\! OWWW" rugby player 2: "that's so sadomasochistic\! mm mm mm\!" football player: "i need a manicure" american football player: "*buuuurp*"
