I'm a football guy but I will admit the rugby got robbed in the first round
I do play rugby. It's really fun
what position im tighthead prop aka n03
@@callanambience1184 I’m a fullback
Rugby is more of an international sport.
Rugby is way better and the first rugby game was England vs Scotland
American football is why better
Rugby way better
@Mack there on steroids though
Depends where you live
Rugby dont need chearleaders! We have the crowd! Thousands of crowds watching,drinking beers,partying,dancing,singing & cheering at the same time ! They can do it all! R U G B Y !!
Disrespect
That almost sounds like American football😱
@sbb2630 the atmosphere in rugby is superior
Rugby just sounds lame lol
@@pyrozweakaverage american playing hand egg
They are both great sports but very different Rugby is like a always moving 10k pace American Football is like a set of 100 meter sprints
Football is the best highlight sport by far but it’s more enjoyable to watch a full game of rugby
We are faster, stronger and hit harder
@@samuelcastillo2675I hope your talking about rugby because in thay case you are correct
@@VowToThee did not know about both sports ,watched a match of all blacks and superbowl in terms of game rugby felt more engaging as viewer
20 meters sprint not 100
Rugby... it's so good that
Countries other than the Americans bother to play it too. ;)
Kirsty Waters zing!
You do know that Canadians play football and Australians
American football is a complex game and the reason it is not popular outside the US is because not alot of people outside America understand how the game works.
MrCrowsy I didnt say it was hard to understand i said it was complex. I live in the UK and there is thousands of people who attempt to watch American Football and do not understand it. It is not hard to understand but you cannot just watch a game and expect to have a clue what is happening. Just because you understand cricket doesnt mean you automatically know how American Football works you would still have to learn.
The game is easy to understand but there is alot that you need to know, there is lots of complexities to it but that doesnt mean they are hard to understand.
I live in the UK and 95% of people dont even know what a 1st down is, and if you watch a game without knowing what a 1st down is you will not have a clue what is going on and therefore will lose interest.
I'm a high schooler, fairly athletic I've played american football and rugby and being completely honest rugby is much more fun. No matter your size or shape you can play a certian position, more playing time, more chances with the ball and you're one team. No offensive and defensive team. You play as one.
Michael Yoo good perspective!
Michael Yoo Football is not supposed to be fun. It's a war. The fun comes years after when you tell the same stupid story for the 50th time. I can also tell that you don't really understand football, though. What did you play? Peewee?
Michael Yoo Most people who enjoy football would claim those same attributes as the strengths of the game. This argument is a silly one based on perspective. They are two completely different games with a few small similarities.
There are rugby clubs in the US, but it isn't as big as football, so people there like football. Make sense?
Most other places in the world they play rugby, so they like that better. Most people in the world don't like root beer it's an American thing. Americans don't like snails, it's a French thing. go figure eh?
I respect your opinion... But it is still retarded. Football is superior. I can't believe I have to say this but it's TH-cam after all. IM KIDDING! But I do like football better. Even though I haven't played rugby.
Thank you for all your responses its giving me a great view on both games. To the one asking if i played peewee no i played high school tackle. A last thing i have to add in my opinion is (I'm not saying this about every team) that our schools linemen would trash talk the other team and after a tackle start making the other guy feel bad by showing off and stuff. I don't like that very much because yeah you play against a team but that doesn't mean they have to be so rude about it. In rugby if you do that you get a warning or sent off. I'm not saying this about everyone and its just my opinion. The other thing is that in football the ball is only in play for about 11 minutes where in rugby its in for at least 65.
I play american football in my school team. I think that rugby and american football are different sports so I can't really judge them.
No they are same but America call rugby American football
@@superbeast8035 hello no. American football has long passes meanwhile rugby doesn't. In rugby you can pass the ball as many times you want meanwhile in American football the play allows one time pass. Also rugby doesn't allow pass in forward meanwhile in American football they pass it in front. Many different rules mate.
@@panoudimitris yeah another difference is 1 is played by men the other by a bunch of pussies
@@schalk_2606 yeah those pussies earn way more money though 😂 rugby don't pay its athletes like other pro sports do🤣 y'all better fix your salaries🤷
@@el-chicano2789 in the rugby premiership they have wage gaps so the competition is more fair and interesting to watch as each team has equal oppertunities
According to a 2010 Wall street Journal study, the average AM football broadcasts lasts for 3h12m. The average time the ball is in play during the entire game is 10 minutes 43 seconds. So, an AM football game is 94,4% doing nothing.
Tried very hard to like it. But who am I fooling. Whole bunch of American sports is load of bull.
Doing nothing? Lol you really don't understand the game then
Isn't that the same thing with Cricket? Bit you lot seem to like it just fine...
@@fighterck6241 cough baseball cough
@@fighterck6241 There are lot of things that makes it work for Cricket. Even if we compare the pace, it isn't as slow as American Football.
I was watching rugby and saw a player taken of with a dislocated arm. He came back on 15 minutes later. Rugby is better.
Isaac King that happened
@@IsaacKing-ts3yt d
Lmao a qb in football had internal bleeding and kept playing until the game ended smh what's your point goofy
I literally died when he said a football team has 10 thousand players😂
Lil Yung Pharaoh don't they have like 88 XD
They have 45 each
No, most teams have 50
Then how are you typing this?

I live in England I'm a rugby player and I know people with terrible teeth IT IS NO LAUGHING MATTER THES POOR PEOPLE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO DENTIST:(
MBghost s sorry
@@_aur1ck nahh it's cool man I was just trying to joke around we do have the worst teeth your right
Lol all the chavs in England have no teeth or whitened plastic teeth
Rugby has headgear
Rugby
Actually, the game recognisable as rugby (formally known as football) pre-dates soccer by a long way. That is why the ball is not a sphere; it was too costly and technologically to produce a soccer ball. It was much easier to sew 4 bits of lens-shaped leather together rather than the 32-odd hexagonal/pentagonal pieces required for the functional sphere.
This is complete rubbish football can be dated back all the way tk medieval times though not under the same name rugby was a version of football adopted by diffrent parts of the UK but classic football is the orginal
@thelr5607 the version of football that was 'adopted' was already like rugby, and recognisable variations of sports resembling rugby predate the medieval period by a long way...
Born in America. Raised in America. Rugby.
You are a legend
its common sense
+Joe Downing it's only an opinion.
+Sir Aaron Rowell Thank goodness its the right one :P (Sorry im feeling cheeky today)
I like you sir rugby is better
hit a lot harder in football
Oh please everyone knows rugby is better. The real question is which *type* of rugby is the best.
Union
@@Cillio-lu7iu My thoughts exactly.
I would definitely say rugby. Hands down. Reasons why? Well my brother is training for Ulster rugby team(Northern Ireland), I've been brought up with rugby and I'm just in love with it, even went to a Ireland vs Scotland match(6 nations). I don't mind american football, it has my respect, but I'm just WAY more into my home sport, rugby.
I think the best way to see which sport is better player wise is for a football player to play rugby and a rugby player to play football. My opinion, rugby will definitely win, the fitness of rugby players is impeccable, a full 80 minutes of almost non stop contact but football, what? 4 hours of 10'second impacts? Well at least we don't play 'soccer' as you Americans call it, (by the way, no idea how long football games last but I think it's about that)
+Will Tindall have you been following Jarryd Hayne?
+Whistle Sports Jarryd Hayne played rugby league which is different to rugby union, which is what you are talking about in the video
Yeah, I heard he went to American football but nothing elsec really
+Will Tindall
This is based on several misconceptions about American football. Let me simply patch quote myself from a section of my overall reply to the video.
"American football gives breaks to the players unlike Rugby though, to catch a breather. Don't count that against them though, through the 3 or so hours many of them are worn down and cramping up just like the rugby players because of the intensity. How is it more intense, given the "stop and start" nature of American football? The average play in American football lasts for approximately 4-6 seconds, followed by a period of approximately 25-40 seconds of pause. This time is used for physical and mental recovery from each play, as well as time to assess the last play and coordinate the next play. However, most importantly this enables players to get prepared to commit 100% effort to the next play. Due to the continuous nature of other sports, there are rarely moments when these sports exhibit 100% effort due to the fatigue associated with non-stop play. This directly factors into the first topic of intensity of the impacts and physicality of the hits of American football over rugby and why it had so many fatalities before they were forced to put in protection or be banned from being a sport in the 1920s.
Sports like soccer, baseball, rugby, cricket, hockey, and even basketball also involve a tremendous amount of time for players to simply stand around in the middle of play. This is something that simply never happens with football - every player is giving 100% effort and concentration to every play, with no standing around. This is something that few other sports - if any - can claim."
+Will Tindall I agree with you in many areas. But I would change the word better. Has no sense. What is better handball or basquet? it does make any sense. Rugby is no better sport than any other. Rugby Union players from high level, has many advantages over some NFL players. Some Rugby league players the same. But there's no better in this matter. There are many rugby player who played at many levels of AF but the media is recently noticed the early Jarryd Hayne "the rugby player" as they call him. But remember one thing: in AF is more difficult to stand out because they are 53 in each team and they change the teams all the time. If they wouldn't do that, as we do in Rugby, would be easier. You will have less minutes in the field, that's a big thing. But Rugby is a harder sport and it hurts more.
Ok this told me literally nothing about these sports
Lol padding just made the sport more dangerous
ye, those helmets look deadly, watch highschool football and all the kids who havnt developed yet just get smashed by peples heads.
Lets compare stats.
Rugby.
-Played worldwide
-Every Rugby player runs 4.5 miles per game on average.
-Every game is 2 x 40 minutes of play with a 10 minute break.
-22 players per team with 15 on at any time
-Rugby players have following skill set run, kick, tackle, pass, scrum, line out, try.
-Fastest Rugby player recorded over 100 meters 10.27 seconds.
-Average Rugby player travels 4.5 miles per game mostly jogging or running over 80 minutes
-Every Rugby player has all plays and set pieces memorised throughout the game.
-Players travel over at least 12 timezones with professional teams world wide.
-Largest professional player 201.7kg
Average tackles per game per Rugby player 16
-Safety equipment used by rugby players = mouth guard
American Handegg.
-Played USA
-American Handegg cornerback/wide receivers runs 1.25 miles per game but does not play for the entire 12 minutes of play he also is the only player to travel over any measurable distance.
-Every play is 30 second bursts with each game only 12 minutes long on average but it is spread over more than 3 hours on top of that there is 16 minute of breaks for half time and quarter time breaks.
-53 players in a team with 11 on at any time
-American Handegg players have one or two of the following skill sets run, kick, tackle, pass, block.
-Fastest American Handegg player recorded over 100 meters 10.00 seconds
-Players have receivers inside there helmets telling them what play to make or where to go.
-Players travel over 4 timezones with professional teams America wide.
- largest professional player 122kg
-Average tackles per game per handegg player 4
-Equipment used by American Handegg players = Helmet, facemask, shoulder pads, knee pads, thigh pads, hip pads, gloves, jaw pads, rib protecters, arm pads, back plates, cup, visors, padded girdles, mouth-guards, neck rolls, padded vests, wrist coaches.
This is simply why I prefer to watch and play Rugby, there is blood, concussion, sweat and thinking on your feet it is not to disrespect Handegg it is simply why it is popular worldwide and is a true athletic sport. at least no one reading this probably follows soccer.
+hakaboy6924 great research on this!
seems like you're a bit biased like
+Whistle Sports maybe you can do formula f1 vs nascar
you've got the weights wrong. largest rugby player is something like 160kg, and i'd say there are a fair few amount of american footballers who're over 122kg. however, i agree with you that rugby's a better sport.
Yea bro you dont know anything about football
Rugby is so much more entertaining even though I love NFL
Rugby rules
I've played both sports and I feel like rugby is certainly more active in terms of the entire team, however I feel like american football is much more strategic and team-oriented. Plus the padding allows everyone to play at their utmost level of intensity, no hesitation when you hit someone, not the case in rugby, you may think you're going 100% but when you fly headlong into someone's kneecap, you will probably hesitate slightly afterwards when you attempt to tackle someone, that's just human nature. If you want to play a game that is constantly moving and a lot of playtime, then go with rugby. If you want to play a game where you plan your strategy based on the strengths and weaknesses of each team and you really want to annihilate someone, play football. JUST AN OPINION
Rugby...but we need cheer leaders
Nah, cheerleaders are only for sports that otherwise wouldn't be entertaining or has supporters with too short of an attention span.
not during like tmo decisions but halftime entertainment
@@mabo3542 both sports are boring af. At least cheerleaders give you something entertaining to watch
Rugby all day rugby
Nahh it's rugby all day. Rugby all night
Definetly rugby 🏉
lmao you havnt seen a football game have you
Matt Dukes iv seen various clips. But it clearly for people who are to scared to het properly so they have to wear armour.
@@dmplingman9169 you do know back in the early 1900s before players wore pads they would die regularly right players still die from football every so often in lower levels like middle school and even high school the pads are the reason players dont leave games with every bone in their body destroyed

This is coming from a Brit so this would be 100 percent accurate
If an American was doing this it would be the same not 100 percent accurate
The piece of foam to kneel on while weeding is so true its funny😂

I think I'm the only American that likes rugby
+crusader7 yes you are
Nope
I like rugby to and I'm American
Makes you a legendary American :) haha
+bjh903 not even....
I just watch these for the humor.
In the Scottish Borders we love our rugby, our teams regularly win the Scottish rugby premiership and every kid learns to play rugby union in their first year of high school.
RUGBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A rugby ball is way bigger than a football
B477 Diaz-Bazan because rugby players have bigger balls then football players do
That's true . you have to respect rugby players since they don't have armor
The only reason football players have so much padding is because Americans actually know how to truck someone
Lighting Bolt righhhhhhttttttt.
B477 B477 yeah but football is way more fun!!
I am from Samoa rugby
In Samoa you have a $7 bill
Rugby!!!
i like football but in latvia there is no football so rugby is beter
Rugby is better
To be fair, Football did use to have a lot less equipment, but imagine nowadays someone like Myles Garrett, one of the Watt Brother smashing into you while your only wearing a leather cap
A lot of people died from football when it first started so much that it was gonna get banned by the president till they added gear
I was so confused first. How can you compare Rugby and football (soccer)
Both are great sports - FACT
However I think that rugby is better.
Nathanael Knell it is
Football is more fast paced and you can do cooler moves, so I think football
Its not faster pace m8, V dont get a 1min break or whatever after a tackle.I am not looking for a wild argument
Geesara Nanayakkara have you ever watched a football game?
Akecheta I have actually
Rugby = Beast
American football = men
KdotBdot 5 so go out and play American football since you relegated them to being just men.
Maritza Piccarillo what talentless hellhole are you from?
What am I if I played both?
so what do you mean
Rugby is real better
Football!!!

Rugby I play For Lisburn RFC In Northen Ireland
I play for Ballyclare rfc Northern Ireland
My team beat you
Football!!!!!!!!!!
Good discussion for any Sunday sport.
As an American, Football wins out.
Football's pace of play: bursts of speed & power, paused to reflect and strategize complex options makes for intense drama. An amazing mix of intelligence and brute force, unlike any other sport to play of watch.
Great game American Football, & I totally understand its appeal, especially to North American audiences, no disrespect intended. But it's way more tribal than Rugby Union. Rugby at its best is a fabulously flowing game, & my god do the players have to be fit.
None taken at all, David. It's a bit more complicated to learn rules as a player or fan whereas typical goal sports follow similar rules. Do play it sometime this spring if you find others who know general rules.
As someone who plays both Football and Rugby, Rugby is better.
Footballs better
you must be JV or c team or something
+Captain Madden actually, im the Varsity Safety for football, and of the starting Scrum Half for Rugby. Rugby is harder.
+Swantonbom01 yeah go play on a professional level and tell me that. you can't even lay people out in rugby. it's literally the most straight forward cave man type of sport
+Swantonbom01 people just run and run and run and run in rugby. .. same stuff. football is more of a team sport with very many aspects to the game and it takes strategy and spectacular athletes who are just strong but agile and smart. rugby is just for meat heads who thinks it's cool to have brain damage by 30
CFL should play against 9 German Football league teams 2019 preseason
lol you're thinking too highly of the GFL, or insulting the CFL, GFL is bearly professional besides the two leagues don't even share the same rules (Pitch size, number of players, number of downs....)
@@kamelkadri2843 you must be a CFL fan from Canada. Completely oblivious to the financial collapse of the CFL. Every Canadian has no clue that the CFL doesn't have the resources to finance that league. I don't know if you have heard of MLB , but what they do have the "when in Rome rule" . For example if the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes come to Toronto . It would be 12 on 12 3 downs with a big field.
Professor: Rugby's boring

i'm also a fan of Kaliningrad General 🙃
Can mr Richardson do a NASCAR vs Formula one thing with this
Dominic Carranza good idea!

El rugby es lo mejor💪🏉
A spandex onesie is called a Jersey and it's not even a onesie they were all kinds of different clothes but when football first started off it was basically like rugby all the war was a helmet
Bowling!!! Wait... What was the question again ?
Rugby because you don't have wait half a day to see 1 GAME
Wait half a day?
I was being sarcastic but I like watching American football but there's so many adds and then there's 1/4 and if you add all that up it takes nearly 6 hours to watch one game and I'm irish so I play rugby and support it more
Would you rather watch an ad or sit there and wait for a timeout to be over.
So true
Steve Van Zelst That's another point for rugby - none of those silly timeouts that can be called by the teams
I play football but would love to play rugby but football is more entertaining and rugby is more raw speed and power so to me they are equally amazing.
Austin Payn Campbell in what way is it more entertaining? I’ve seen both and rugby had way more action.
what do u mean football is more entertaining, its a bunch of potheads running into eachother.
Rugby for days
both great sports, im canadian so i like football more since i was raised with it
Tbh it kinda depends where you live
it’s also more fun
Rugby cause we're not scared of a few cuts and bruises
Eh, NFL players generally only wear a helmet and a thin upper chest/shoulder protector. It has been getting smaller every year in an effort to make the game SAFER (that should tell you something). Some qb's also wear flak jackets.
Rugby 100%
Folke Vendler He’s a loser
Rugby is better
Football totally equipment keeps us safe and we don't wear leotards
But you guys are just too scared and aren't though enough
its not that we are scared is that we want to play more
duncanthrower13 For seven seconds at a time.
May I just say it's less likely to get smaller injuries in football but actually big injuries are more likely to happen in football
As I have played bother American football and rugby. I know that in American football you get less injuries and I play rugby at the moment but I am out because I broke my ankle all the way through but I played until half time and then I got sent to hospital. So this proves that rugby is way better than American football
He just didnt want to get roasted
Haven’t you herd about cowboy JT
wow, just about every comment prefers rugby, I'm glad.
Idk why i like both sports aldo i prefer A.football
And it’s quick football is slow u place ur knee ur done in rugby you can resell for the ball
maybe
First of all I love NFL, I think it's a great game but rugby is a rough and hard cool game but if I have to choose which one is rough I would say rugby 🏉
There is a reason they wear protective gear in american football, it's because it's generally more violent than rugby. There are tackles in american football that are strictly forbidden in rugby and alot worse injuries
@@anunnaki4145 bro you clearly haven’t seen ruby game properly. It’s a very tough game and mate let me tell you they are pretty strong game and the fact they don’t have to wear protection, it shows their tough, unlike NFL they are pussy
Rugby a team game
Well, nobody here has bothered factoring in Australian Rules Football. There is no more athletic 'Football style' game.
And the fact he said that australia had nothing else to do um ok lmao cricket and Aussie rules were made long before rugby came to Australia
My uncle was a professional rugby player on the Springbok’s
As a man who grew up playing both, (from a young boy and through college) I stand by it when I say American Football was the tougher sport (at least for us lineman/forwards) while Rugby was way more fun to play. I will say that I had a better sense of family with my Rugby mates. P.S Tonga got robbed 2017 RWC hahaha
This dude forgot about the head gear
Not just a mouthguard and headgear
Rugbys by far the best

Football: More strategic with two teams going against each others diffrent "Plays"
Rugby: More thinking on your feet with constant play
VoDKa The Dudest actually rugby has a lot of tactical thinking and i should know because i play rugby
Sam Farthing but do you play football? no what you are doing is answering objectively i could say that football is better because i play it myself thats why we need someone who plays both the sports to answer that question
derp derpina yeah i have played it before
Sam Farthing just having played it before doesn't cut it you need to have complete knowledge of the sports to actually be neutral
VoDKa The Dudest football
Both are really good, and I mean really!
Tough? watch this and decide:
th-cam.com/video/v-1MQ0Cnbhs/w-d-xo.html
Based on my own analysis (if you have any questions, I can back up anything I mention):
Football players have a better skill set.
BOTH have extremely great athletes.
Football is a more profitable sport.
Football seems more strategic
The Comment Referee football over pays their players, rugby is a lot more strategic in the sense there is more within the game (line outs, scrums, rucks) and rugby actually gives the big dudes a chance to run which doesn’t happen a lot in football
Rugby has a lot of dynamic strategy, as in pieces are moving continously as a play develops. I played both sports. I found that football is like chess, in which both players take turns to make a move. Rugby is like chess if both players moved freely without taking turns, just continous movement. Also, in rugby, each player has a broader skill set since you play defense AND offense
Definitely rugby
Not
Do you like apple or orange?
TheLast Mohican orange is way better than apple
@@jayjaysworld7110 sometime
Football has unlimited substitutions because there are like 55 players per team and the personell between defense, offense, and special teams changes.
i played two sports too and i have to say football was my favorite just didnt like subing out all the time
I love rugby and I will always side with it. But I'm not gonna say the other one is bad, But yeah rugby is who I side with.
Rugby cheerleaders in in our country and SA have cheerleaders with pom poms
Rugby 😂 like there's any doubt
Last time I checked I thought a rugby player left rugby for American football
No actually that's rugby league but you guys don't know the difference
AB that proves that any rugby player can play football but for a football player to try rugby ?? hhmm that'll be interesting but i don't think he'll last a min in the field. no hate though just facts

Honestly not matter how I look at it it is just human dodgeball with extra steps for both
football doesn't just were a mouth gard that also were head gear
Could ppl stoo being so wild in the comments like whatever sport u want.I prefer rugby and anyone else is entitled to their opinion.
In nfl you need gears in rugby were just man we don’t know what pain is
Rugby is a lot better in every way
football
Since when did rugby have cheerleaders?
