That’s interesting. Pro rugby players call us pussies for wearing pads and helmets.

Rugby fields the same 15 guys for the duration of the 80 minute game with very few interruptions from the officials. It has much more flow than football and momentum is a vital component of the action. Some rugby players are 6'8 and up to 260 lbs and run almost the entire 40 minute half. I like football but having 53 men playing a game with stops every few seconds, time-outs and the like, sure, you can get bigger "athletes" that are 350lbs plus. But come on, they're going to be puffing on oxygen on the sideline after only a few minutes.
Europeans prefer games that have momentum. Soccer, Rugby and Basketball have that. Football, not so much.

Rugby is tougher than the modern day NFL. A good rule of thumb is if you get cauliflower ear from a sport, it’s tougher than the NFL

The current state of the NFL is soft AF compared to the old NFL. It’s certainly softer than rugby right now.
