Does everyone agree with my assertion that rugby is only for fatties that can't play football?

Question

well giving the reckoning of one of the answers they all must have very muscly bellys

Answer 1

Rugby player's WON'T, not can't play football. Can't be doing with all the prima-donnas and kisses.

Answer 2

The current rugby league world champions are the Bradford Bulls,they have a winger named Lesley Vainokolo,he is 18.5 stone and was the New Zealand Sprint champion.Fat.? you decide...

Answer 3

You could not be more wrong, even if you were trying to be wrong, you could not be more wrong.

Answer 4

Rugby guys are not fat-- they are very strong muscley men-- and no i dont think they play rugby because they cant play football

Freedom of choice

Think u may have chosen a really bad question to ask

Answer 5

you mug! Its called muscle not fat!

Answer 6

Rugby is a game for Ruffians played by gentlemen, Football is a game for Gentlemen played by Ruffians!

Answer 7

no rugby is a proper mans sport, footballers are all pansies afraid of getting their hair messed up, give me a rugby player anyday

Answer 8

Well, apart from most rugby players are fitter than footballers, and the game demands a lot more phyically.

Football is for people with no upperbody strength.

Answer 9

No.  Football is for boys who can't handle a real man's game.

Answer 10

Lol no! Maybe football is just for wimps that can't play rugby by your reasoning. Can you really call people like JW or Robinson, or Johnston fat...naaah! I like both sports.

Answer 11

How can you get a fat guy on the wing? that would be the most boring game ever!! You can't be fat with the intense training needed for the sport those guys are in the gym 24/7!

Answer 12

I think your footballers would not last any time on a rugby field.

1/ Their diving about as if they're shot would get them nowhere.

2/ The lack of respect for refs would see them loose yards frequently.

3/ They just ain't tough enough.............

I could go on but at the end of the day they're different games and you can't compare. It's not an either / or situation it is possible 2 like both games you know!

Answer 13

this question made me laugh.. i dont think anyone that knows, plays, or understands rugby would or could agree with your "assertion." what sport do you play? and why dont you look up a national team or two and take a look at he players bodies.. enough said

Answer 14

Rugby is for people of all body shapes and sizes.

As long as they can drink a lot of beer.

Oh and rugby IS football silly....

Answer 15

I live in America and I've played over 7 years of football through H.S. and College.  I've been playing Rugby for 4 years now and it's a much more demanding sport.

Answer 16

well, make sure no rugby player ever reads your question....rugby players are athletic and well-built, and much bigger than most of the average population...there's just as much technical ability, skill and magic in rugby as there is in football...don't be biased! there are many kinds of sports, and each has its own supporters and fans...

Answer 17

Hi

No, sorry not at all. Rugby players may look large, but that's muscle density for the scrums. Rugby is a much more physical sport than Football as it requires physical contact and in that sense, the players have to be fitter than football players.

P.S. Love your answers guys! ;)!
