Must say it was a rather mediocre game. At least the Packers won

And keep in mind that the rugby players have no padding at all. I'd say rugby players take as big hits, if not bigger, and get back up and have to do it again and again without the breaks that NFL players get.

Red classic.

It's all about the pack.
Also, some of those rugby tackles up there are obviously illegal. I saw at least one spear tackle - the last time I saw one of those in an actual game (at my brother's club), the guy who got dumped ended up with a broken clavicle.
But yeah, rugby is absolutely brutal as contact sports go. Nobody wants a hospital pass. When I was 15 I got mildly concussed after receiving a stupid pass right as the biggest guy on the other team was running at me. I got slammed into the floor, was too dazed to protect myself during the ruck, so one of their players fell on the side of my head as they were rucking over.
I decided I didn't want to play any more after that particular incident! Strangely though, I feel like I could play again today - I have some more weight behind me, I'm reasonably fit and I'm aggressive.

I saw one of these:

what game were you watching? What's a good game to you? That was the best superbowl since 2005.

For instance, in the 2008 game there was the David Tyree helmet catch. One of the greatest upsets ever
In the 2009 game there was Harrison's 100 yd pick six and Santonio Holmes tip toe game winner. Constant lead changes.
In the 2010 game there was that Tracy Porter pick six to seal the game, emotional for a city/organization that's been through much.
None.
No offence, but american football is for girls and people looking for an excuse to go drinking.

None.

I guess I'm remembering how terrible 2006 and 2007 were.
2008 was pretty low scoring, though not low enough for me to enjoy it. Everyone was expecting a high flying offense with the patriots scoring at least 3-4 touchdowns. Completely disappointing in every aspect, except that the patriots lost. It was a game of mistakes for both teams.
2009 was pretty good, though the cardinals only led during the 4th quarter, and the safety was BS. I'd give you this one.

I will agree however, that football is a great excuse to go drinking with your buddies. Beer + football = epic win
None.

No but seriously, american football is pretty intense, rugby's just a bit more hardcore.

Trolling on YouTube? What is the world coming to?
Two completely different games with different sets of skills required.
Rugby (Union):
- Emphasis on aerobic fitness (no breaks).
- Emphasis on general competency in game's core elements (tackling, passing, catching, being able to take multiple tackles).
- Flexible approach to attacking moves/plays - more of a focus on individual and team initiative.
American Football:
- Emphasis on anaerobic fitness
- Emphasis on specialisation in a particular role.
- Rigid tactical focus on "by the book" plays
I can't really state the second point enough. American Football is basically the most highly-specialised variant of Rugby Football. Not all players have to be fit - they just need to be outstanding at whatever their particularly specialised role is. Only a select few players need to have much initiative or ability to read the play (I'm thinking free/strong safety). American Football is like a turn based strategy game, and Rugby is a real-time strategy game. Which one you prefer is a matter of taste (and cultural upbringing).
Personally I prefer Association Football (soccer).

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.[2026-7-16. : 6:26 am]
NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.[2026-7-16. : 6:25 am]
NudeRaider -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: Ohhh imagine a SC map that could delete itself
not the map, the editor[2026-7-16. : 2:28 am]
Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology[2026-7-15. : 8:51 pm]
NudeRaider -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.[2026-7-15. : 4:10 am]
Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
