You fucking pussy britfags wouldn't know a manly sport if

Ya but which one is wearing pads?

>>685450663
Yea handegg is so manly. That's why they wear steel body armour to play it right?

>>685450736
Ya but which is a faster paced harder hitting sport?

>>685450791
Knights wore armour, they were pretty manly

>>685450802
They are both just as hard hitting

>>685450948
Actually no they're not. There was a study done several years ago that shows that football hits are at least 3x harder hitting than rugby hits.

Google it.

>>685450948
I think rugby is cool and all, but football by far has more constitant harder hits my dude

Handegg is for pussy faggots

>>685451102

I'd hope so with all that padding and armor and helmets and gloves and really tight pants

>>685451102
they hit harder becuase of the protection dumb retard. take the armour off the handegg players and i guarantee they wouldn't hit as hard as a rugby player.

If you look at it you can see that rugby players dont need pussy armor

>>685450736
>>685450791
I prefer rugby but I can't let stupidity run around like this.

When you get hit with pads, they fucking hurt. I played football in HS and university and Rugby on weekends to this day and nothing hurts more than getting fucked up by football pads.

Which you would know if you played both sports and didn't just patriotically shit post you fucking tards.

>>685451248
Implying a rugby ball isn't egg shaped? You've seen the game played right?

>>685451494
The reason rugby players don't wear anything is because they don't need it. Not because they're tough, but because the hits in rugby aren't nearly hard enough in rugby to warrant extra proteciton.

Football hits are different. Imagine a 300 pound supernigger running full speed at you. Those monstrosities don't exist in rugby, which is why pads are needed in football.

>>685451588
I've played both too and it's much more intense without armour

Both are shit games. Be a true gent and play ping pong you fucks.

>>685450663
>playing egg-catch
>calling it football

none of these pussy sports are boxing so you can all kill yourselves now

>>685451699
It's because they call it football

>>685451588
Ive played both in high school and I agree, those pads make you think you wont get hurt so you hit harder. Rugby takes a little more technique. Both are fun sports

>>685451699
But we actually have enough brians to not call our sport "foot" ball despite not using our feet at all. So the name rugby is fine.

>>685451102
Because the fatfucks are wearing pads and helmets

This argument every time... Such autism.

Football in all forms in the western world dates back to ball games played "on foot" by peasants in the Middle Ages. That's why it's called football - because it's played on foot, with a ball. As opposed to nobility who played sports on horseback.

Read a book nigger

I'm from the south of france (inb4 frenchfag, i know).

Went on a exchange for 2yr in high school in Michigan .

used to play rugby a lot in France (its more popular than soccer in the south) so i gave football a try.

The fact that u can rest pretty much every minute and have pre-determined position and roles in the brawl makes you go harder, it is true. (the pad factor wasn't this important tbh)

Rugby is more about endurance, being able to go on for a long time.

I think rugby is actually harder to play, but football is more entertaining, especially with the way the game is played in the US, there were like 1 000 people for a high school match cheering and stuff. Its more around 50/100 in france.

I've also played both and I prefer football overall.

That said, here's the break down:

>Football is more technical
>Hits in football are more aggressive (in general)
>Being hit in rugby hurts 10x more (in general)
>Rugby players are a lot more intimidating than football players (in general)
>Football caters for a lot of different size/strength/skill sets, but you have to be very god at your specific role
>Rugby is a much more everyone does a bit of everything, therefore, players are less skilled at any one particular aspect but are more well rounded
>Pure athleticism, footballers win (in general)
>Stamina, rugby wins

They're different sports for different people. There's no point comparing them, especially since most of you have probably never played both. You are allowed to enjoy two sports! But to settle the argument, in my opinion, football hits through harder, are less scary/brutal/painful than rugby hits (unless you take a helmet to the knee, that shit hurts like hell)

You're retarded. Pic related, another football player.

oh, and football player die way earlier. idk why

>>685452884
This. I wish any sport we played could get the support football does for American schools. I think all variations of the sport have merits but I'm jealous of the school and community support they get in the US for high school sports.

>>685452990
Is that kobe i fucking love kobe

>>685453117

Yeah, i literally had people holding signs wih my name on it.

even my father isn't doing it in France

>>685453074

I'd imagine it's because all their armor gives them the illusion that it's safe to crash into each other at full speed.

IIRC, football player have a higher chance of experiencing head trauma, namely chronic TBI.

>>685450663
>Faggot thinks that wearing a ton of protection makes it a manly sport.

I've played both sports. Rugby is more fun to play due to less stoppages, but football is definitely tougher.

>>685452990
No, the three main forms of football we see today can all be traced back to common points of origin in Europe. That's what we're discussing moron.

The differentiation of the three occurred mostly with the advent of physical education in universities in Great Britain where regional forms of playing football were adopted by local institutions for physical education. The rugby game and what we know as association football today grew in popularity and as transportation methods evolved and schools began to play against other schools common rules needed to be adhered to. Forms of rugby came across to North America and a match between a Canadian and American school laid the foundation for changes to rugby that would eventually become gridiron/American football.

Basketball is a totally different sport it has no causal link to the medieval games played in Europe or the university sports that standardized those classic games.

You fuckers ever heard of Netball. This sport is fucking brutal. When they catch the ball they have to stop, spin on the spot, throw the ball and then take off immediately in the timespan of less than a second. They end up twisting the fuck out of their legs. The proportion of players that get debilitating injuries is way higher than either rugby or football.

>>685450663

>then why all the padding?
>shoulder pads are for women in the 80's
>also why do they need a break every 5seconds or 5yards to catch their breath while the dj spits statistics nobody could care about

Football hits >>>>>>>> Rugby "hits"

>>685450736
>>685450791
Rugby and football have roughly the same rate of injury. If football players weren't wearing pads (like you suggest in order to be manly), football would be filled with casualties.
The fact that football players need "body armor" in order to reduce the damage to the same level as rugby shows that football is actually a much more dangerous sport.

Second, it's called strategy.
Football is like a game of chess. You have to plan your moves carefully. It's not like gay ass European sports where you just kick a ball and hope for the best. That's why your games end 0-0

Agreed that they're both shit, especially football. A few seconds of action sandwiched between minutes of standing around/getting in position.
