Hardest hitting sport in the world. (watch vids first)

[dts1789]

NFL has harder hits than any sort of Rugby, no denying that.
Obviously you can't hit as hard in Rugby League or Union because there's no protective gear and the idea isn't to kill the other team members.

Rugby League is a tougher sport overall though. Couldn't care less about all the fanboys who say otherwise. It's the simple truth.

[Inev]

Rugy didnt have quiet hard of hits, But they always proceed to rape them for the ball afterwards.

The AFL guys were destroying eachother. I wouldnt be surprised if people died often. i voted AFL

Professional bull riding is ****ing gay...

I hope youre ****ing kidding me.. LOL.

How is sitting on an animal trying to throw you off for a few seconds then falling off..and having rodeo clowns distract the animal..in ANY way the ultimate anything?

[Colemans#1]

in rugby you can see the tackles coming and generally in AFL you cant see them coming. a few guys generally get polaxed during the game.

[Diana Meeque]

Theres no way NFL hits are harder then NHL, you skate faster then you run, with less padding, so hits are happening at a faster speed. Get over it, hockey > football.

maybe its just me, but i think that getting sacked by a 250lb machine would hurt more than ice-skating towards somebody (which is for ****ing women anyways), having them bend down, and let me trip over them.

NFL produces the biggest hits for two main reasons. First off NFL players (excluding O- Lineman) are much Bigger, Faster and Stronger than the AFL and Rugby players. Secondly the AFL and Rugby players cant go full speed at each other often due to the fact that there is no protective gear especially on the head. Then there is the fact that these cool AFL and Rugby hits are hits were on man dosent see another one coming while in the NFL many times both men are coming at eachother full speed instead of just one. The car that hits a wall at 70 wont have the impact that two cars hitting eachother at 70 will have. Also keep in mind that as a football player you will have contact on every play, ther will be no running around without it.

Entirely untrue lol

Entirely untrue lol

ahah agreed, thats a really stupid post from that person, this is why i hate these threads, i gurantee none of the guys from the states arguing have ever even seen a game of Rugby League be4.

[evan_42]

Didnt say the sport was harder just that the hits have much more impact!

i can tell science isnt your thing . . .

[KingSht]

The NFL guys are like 50 lbs heavier on average than the rugby players, so they can hit harder.

[warbird00]

i would rather get hit by a rugby player or aussie footbal than someone like Peppers on the Carolina Panthers. 6'5'' 300 lbs, 4.5 40'. Yes, that would be like getting hit by a ****ing semi

[warbird00]

i can tell science isnt your thing . . .

how doesnt that make sense??
one car hitting a wall at 70 miles an hour=70 miles an hour
2 cars hitting eachother at 70 miles each=140 miles an hour

[evan_42]

So the car that hits a wall at 70 will have the same impact as two cars hitting eachother at 70?

[evan_42]

Thank you warbird!!

[matthor]

the hits in NFL may be marginally harder (due to the size - as the big guys are BIG - intermittent nature of the game - players fresher etc) but i think this is offset by the padding. So on the whole, with the variable of protection taken into account, things are pretty even to me. A big hit is a big hit and what ever code of sport it involves is alright by me

[Inev]

one car hitting a wall at 70 miles an hour=70 miles an hour

Thats so crazy it might actually work . . .

edit: just to be sure, your joking right??

[mickey_b08]

Now ever year the AFL play a game of gaelic football against an irish team. it uses a round ball that can be kickd through soccer goals or over football posts. fights break out every year and it was called off this year as it got out of hand .. here are some vids ...

Personally i think it should be on this year.. guess we are to strong (aussies)

NFL's for pussies

[Heavensport]

Rugby Union Wins for me !!! No way in hell AFL, NFL , Soccer, Basketball beat rugby Union on toughness.

[rob_oz]

nrl for sure.
why pick between league and union when you can usually watch both.
just in my world this is...

top international rugby union = state of origin > international rugby league > finials of super 14/ European club match cup = good nrl game > normal league game > normal union game

love em both. although have only played union, since i was on the lighter side at school and usually fitted into scrum half.

[cupra16]

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


NFL wear helmets, pads protective ****ing gear.

rugby is hardcore, no ****ing helmets padding or any protective gear.

[Heavensport]

add this to your list mate, http://youtube.com/watch?v=VkbjtAfpNc4 Awesome Rugby Union hits

[gladrock]

rugby imo.
i heard that DH biking was one of the most dangerous sports around.
anyway here is a better rugby video, better quality.

I hope you are joking. Those werent fights either they were pushy shove.

[Seany6]

I was going to say NFL but then I saw the Rugby video, pretty much the same without Protection, so Rugby.. Australian Football looks pretty hard too.

I don't know why Football(Soccer) is on there though, It's not hard at all. :S
