oh come on the tackeling in rugby is no worse then in american football
Bottom line... anyone who thinks Rugby is harder than football is simply repeating ridiculous chatter that Europeans like to tote around.
well it least we can speak it properly with the correct gramatical terms
Oh I see... you've lost this arguement so badly, you now resort to grammar and spell checking. Wow, GJ.
Once again, you are mistaken abotu the tackling. Here is a perfect example for you.
The typical tackle in Rugby is a take down. You can re-create this approximately like this:
Have 1 person hold the ball and face downfield. Now have two people 10 yards to his left facing him. Now, 1 2 3 go! The dude with the ball runs downfield and the 2 guys chase and take down the ball carrier (assuming he doesn't pass down). That is a typical take down.
Now, in football, most of of the tackles are head on. So, now take your 2 guys and put them 20 yards in front of your ball carrier, facing him. 1 2 3 go! Have the ball carrier run straight downfield and have the two tackles run directly at the runner, heads down and leading with head and shoulders.
If you think the hit generated by the rugby takedown is more intense, then you're in complete denial. Go outside and try it yourself.
