@@itsshadbih from a player who switched from rugby to nfl. the idea is that no pads in rugby promoted good tackling technique and leads to proper hits whereas the nfl doesn't have the tackling technique down as well because they have the safety of pads. also for your information what makes rugby so captivating is that its 80 minutes of full action with one break at 40 mins. Most of the hits in this video, the players in contact will get right back up again and keep playing. They say that football (soccer) is a game where u pretend to be hurt whereas rugby is the game where u pretend not to be hurt so u can keep playing. I recommend watching a full game, if u enjoy the nfl I guarantee u will enjoy a game of rugby.

These dudes are low key huge. I’ve played for 20 years and I’m 6’4, 250 and the guys that play my position professionally are 6’7-6’9 and 274-300lbs.
Head contact is illegal and punished harshly
Good to know!
I agree they hit harder in American football. However, hits in rugby just seem so much more vicious and brutal.
No pads are always goin to make things interesting.

4:17 😅 He only on the team to take the big hits
American football that’s real silly nfl you don’t kick the ball you use your hands to hold it soccer is football cause you kick the only
Wat u mean they don't kick the ball?
Rugby is a sport for real strong man nfl is for baby boys and ladyboys with diapers pads and helmets and knee pads
We love our game the way is it.
That's a bit harsh innit
I don't think no one playin a contact sport is soft
@itsshadbih yeah It isn't but some rugby fans are just a bit ignorant sometimes
