Mind you, they apparently need lots of first aid after a lot of the games. That's a little scary.
I think what impressed me about rugby, the little I've seen of it so far, is its speed (far less stop and start/stop and start than American football, or even the slightly faster and more enjoyable Canadian version of North American football), and the talent required of all the team members. American football specializes so much, and has such a narrow idea of how to do defense or offense ... let's put it this way; lateral passes aren't illegal, but no one employs them, simply because "that's not how we do things."
