This sport takes alot more skill than NFL. & what you mean how would the linebackers do if they played this sport. linebackers only make big hits because they wear protection: helmet, cup, knee pads etc etc. these guys don't

i'm an american new to the sport. I still dont even know how the shit works. but how would an NFL linebacker or even good college linebacker (from American Football) do in this sport? Seems like all the guys on the youtube clips are small. Not being a smartass im just wondering

trust me man.. these guys aren't small. the average back in rugby is 6ft 1. the average forward is 6ft 4. the average lock is 6ft 7. most players range from around 220 - 270 pounds. as for how well a linebacker would do... probably not to well. it involves much more gameplay and constant running which linebackers wouldnt be suited for. then again, there would also be many nfl players who would do very well in rugby.

well i disagree with you friend linebackers are running backs who get to tackle that is what they are you haveto be really fast to be a linebacker . als think about this they wear 40 pound pads and run up and down the field imagine they could run with out pads wit out the weight or constriction they would be not only 3 times faster but also do way more damage in a forward position

but then you also have to realize that theres a big difference in the style of gameplay between rugby and american football. american football is more explosive whereas rugby is more endurance based. linebackers do what theyre meant to do for only about 3 seconds. then they take a break. whereas if they did the same thing in rugby, they would have to do it for about 80 minutes non-stop. something which is impossible.

to be honest though i dont know why people are always comparing rugby and american football. its stupid. they're two completely different sports. its like comparing golf to tennis.

For example a linebacker depending on his size,weight,height,speed can play rugby: if your big/heavy/strong then you play prop thaTS the guy that puts his head in the scrum if u dnt understand look up rules and basics of rugby, if ur tall/u can play lock (also called Second-Row) thats the guy that gets lifted in the air if your strong and fast u can play center/flanker/number 8 well if u dnt want 2 get hurt u can play scrum-half if ur fast wel there is only position and that is wing

it's only dangerous if you don't go in 100%. if you play with it in the back of the mind that you'll get hurt, then you'll get seriously hurt. if you go in full pelt, you'll be fine - it's no more dangerous than association football

my arse american gayball is better... as it was once said rugby:- no pads, no helmets JUST BALLS actually, i don't mind american football too much, i just don't like ignorant comments about other sports
