Haha, thanks for sharing! I got a kick out of it.

I think I just saw Sam and Steve in the video :-D

I've always heard it takes leather balls to play rugby!

Damn, thats like pro football with no fucking pads.....Crazy shit.

ejayian> yes it is!

american football obviously has its history lying in rugby.

just like baseball, has its history lying in 'rounders', an english victorian game (for women).

thats why english people detest americans calling football 'soccer' when its clearly football, and american football is just rugby, but not proper rugby because you're allowed to wear pads.

that, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call, a rant.... lol

Yea... wimpy Americans wearing pads and stopping the game constantly while trying to play rugby....

There used to be a semi-pro American football team here in Pensacola, Florida called the Pensacola Wings. My parents would go to the games sometimes and I always looked forward to the half-time more than the game. That's when the local rugby club would come out and do exhibition games sometimes.

Jonah a true GREAT !!!!
Daniel Carter - he is worth his weight in Diamonds !!!
ABs RULE !!!!!! NZ to win World CUP 2007

NO its NOT Rugby by any stretch of the imagination.

The only thing that may be a tad tad TAD similar is the shape of the ball.

But yes "gridiron's" origins stemmed from rugby just like "aussie rules football" did. The only game closer to rugby is Rugby League (RFL) that also had its origins from rugby.

The differences between gridiron and rugby are too many to name. I have played both - rugger since I was a kid ... gridiron casually at a non-competing college.

Carter is absoloute world calss... pound for pound possibly the best player after richie MacCaw?

You forgot to mention Rufus MacSlurpendale II.

i hate sports.
