How is American Football's rule different from Rugby's?

Question

Except that players wear a lot of protections in American football?

Answer 1

1.  In American Football players can have a rest when they get a bit tired

2.  In Rugby you are not allowed to wear six layers of padding and a big helmet so the other players can't hurt you.

3.  In Rugby you don't get rewarded with points simply for catching the ball.

4.  In Rugby the referee doesn't need 8 of his friends to help him out.

5.  When you get the ball in Rugby you don't have to stop and wait for everyone else to get ready.  You can run with it.

6.  When you are kicking for goal in Rugby, you don't always get to kick from directly in front of the posts.  You have to use SKILL to kick the ball over!  

7.  White men can play Rugby too.

Answer 2

Rugby is faster and more physical.  This is partly do to the fact that the game is longer, and goes without stops.  In addition, when the ball carrier is tackled, he must immediately release the ball to allow continuation of play or face a penalty.  Also, and the most obvious difference is that forward passing is forbidden in rugby union.  The pitch is also larger than that of an american football field.  In addition, another large difference is that rugby is a game of possession not yardage, and that kicking, something that many football fans associate with a loss of possession is not regarded in the same manner in rugby. To the contrary, tactical kicking is a vital asset to any good rugby side.  In addition, blocking is forbidden in rugby, and would be considered obstruction, which would result in a penalty.

Answer 3

Dude try watching both games instead of just asking the question it will bbecome clear, in rugby you can only pass the ball backwards, the game doesn't stop anytime a pass is incomplete or some one is tackled. There are 15 players on each team and there is only one team, no offence defence etc. A game lasts for 80 minutes split into 2 halfs. You can only tackle the man with the ball.

It's nothing like American Football, watch a game and you'll see.
