Rugby is the sport of gods.

Soccer is for whiners and girls

American Football would be better if they stopped faffing around,, and they took all their armour off

While I share your affection for Rugby...American football players would die in droves if they took all the "armor" off given the speed and size of the players. 

And I'm not just talking about the professional or college game.   Even the high school teams have some HUGE, FAST kids!  I know I didn't play against 300-350 pound kids with 40 yard dash speeds between 4.5 and 4.8 second back when I was in in High School....geezus.

...therefore we deserve the name "Football"!

I've discussed this issue with the United Nations. A special committee has suggested the name: 'Carryball'.

Anyone demonstrating such poor motor skills to cut themselves across the nose that way while shaving shouldn't be too difficult to neutralize. No wonder he's grumpy

Cobblers There are equally massive Rugby players who dont need to strap on a plastic tank under their shirts to stop them getting a little bruise.

Bill Cavabuti was around the 370lbs range and ran like the wind, Jonah Lohmu was not far behind that, Dallaglio, Uini Antonio, all massive fast men, all unarmoured but for big squishy ears and a gum shield

He's right though Danny, american handegg players would die if they had to play without their 'armor'. Rugby players are freaking tanks, they hit like concrete. Much respect for rugby players.

Seconded.

That TV advert for shampoo where the player calls the physio on cos he's got an itchy scalp....I can so see that actually happening.

See.....I used to think like you but the thing is.....when playing rugby you get tackled maybe a dozen times in the game, and a tackle usually isn't a clothesline round the throat.

American Handegg (that's gonna stick now) players get tackled every play, all of em, even the waterboy.  And since most of em are double figure IQd meatheads with no concept of restraint.....there's gonna be deaths without the armour and colleges will be handing out scholarships based on skull thickness.
