What is your opinion about Rugby!?

Question

Do you think it's to tough?Would you do it?Which sport si tougher boxing,rugby,or football(not soccer).Are you afraid of it?

Answer 1

RUGBY IS A GREAT SPORT, BETTER THAN ANY OTHER AND YOU KNOW IT...

Answer 2

Boxing is incomparable to the other two (Even if you're the lippiest b*****d on the field, chances are you won't get hit in the face more than once)

Rugby and football are as tough as each other (I played both - rugby for significantly longer) but the difference is that rugby is 40 minutes of game time, then a ten minute break, then 40 more minutes of game time.  You are expected to play 80 minutes and only get taken off the field if your game isnt up to scratch or you get injured.

The other thing is, there's a lot more broken play in rugby and improvisation plays a much bigger part.  The coach has no influence on the game once the players take the field.

My opinion, rugby and football are equal in toughness but rugby is harder to play well and you're more likely to get injured in football because of the stupid way they hit each other.

Answer 3

having played american football for a while in the states and playind rugby at home i think rugby is tougher.a fella died in a collapsed scrum when i played rugby. would that happen if he was wearing loads of pads.so rugby is tougher.

Answer 4

Rugby is tough, but not comparable to boxing or football, there is no mindless hitting,

yes the tackling is hard and you want a good defensive hit but the on field descisions and team work is what makes it interesting just as much as the rib breaking hits

i think its tough, in a gracefull way, its just simply amazing the game itself and the players who play it too.

Answer 5

Each of these three sports are tough...there is a level of toughness required for all three....I like to watch American Football on ESPN, I don't really get the game but I enjoy what I see...

I don't really like boxing but yes it is tough....I mean I wouldn't want to go round for round with someone who is intent on knocking me out...lol

I am from NZ...so rugby is the bomb.....league (another code of rugby) is another tough sport as well

Answer 6

Rugby is awesome, I would play it.  Rugby is miles tougher than boxing and football.

Answer 7

I've done all three but I love rugby. For one, rugby is a life sport. You can (and I do) play rugby into middle and even old age if you have enough other players to join you (I suppose you could do the others as well but there really isn't organization of the sport at those ages).

Boxing is the ultimate 1-on-1 sport. It requires endurance, speed, and strength.

Football requires less endurance and for most positions, more strength.

Rugby requires endurance and strength at all positions with sacrifice of strength for speed depending on position.

Rugby, to me, is the most fun. There's enjoyment on the pitch and off. No other sport that I know of compares in the camaraderie department.

I can't answer the question. "Tough" is how you define it. Is it tough to be able to take a punch in the head with a padded glove? Or is it tough to take/give a spear tackle even if you have pads on? Or is it tough to give it your all for 80 minutes for the sheer joy of moving an oddly shaped ball around a pitch?

Answer 8

Boxing is the only one of the choices in which the goal is to cause physical damage, so it's the "toughest."

Because of the padding in American football, players use their bodies as weapons.  There are more serious injuries in football.

IMO, rugby is the most fun.  Football is all about stopping and planning, and coaches telling the players what to do each and every step of the way.  Rugby has continuous action so coaches have to shut up and let the players play.  Creatitivity in the middle of play replaces the preplanned execution of football.  Rugby is also much more of a conditioning challenge planted on top of the physical contact.

Answer 9

i think all these sports are exrtremely tough and the players need to stop comparing themselves to each other,

rugby football and boxing all take real men to play

i think boxing is very fun but probably not worthwhile doing as it has a negative impact on your image and can cause brain damage or worse, look at muhamad ali
