Replying to Football vs. Rugby

I've played both...here is what i think. In north america Football is way more serious and players in the NFL are probably better athletes ( although probably more drugged up as well) than like US and Canada team rugby players. In Europe however where rugby is huge I am positive that you would find some way better athletes than any american Football player...by better i mean better endurance, stronger, tougher. The nature of Rugby requires players to be more fit than Football requires its players to be. As for the hitting, the biggest hit ive ever taken was in Football, but thats because I dont play rugby againts good people. In short, the best rugby team in the world could win a football game against the best football team in the world with a little practise. discuss.
