Apart from rugby developing from soccer (remember William), nothing.

Nothing, nada, zilch, not a goshdarn thang, thank goodness.

They're not.

Answer 4

Not very similar at all.

Different number of players on field

Different ways of scoring

Different lines on pitch

Different Shaped Ball

In one you used your hands, in the other you use your feet.

Different Length of Game

In fact, can't think of many similarities
