    And THAT try wasnt a try. I'm English but even I feel I have to say that. His knee touched the line and that's classed as out-of-play, simple as.

    Question about Rugby.....

    What is the differ between Rugby and American Football? arent they basically the same thing? so why they are call Rugby instead of Football?

    thanks.

    rugby is the original game, American football is a spin-off of rugby, and they wanted to be different, so they called it 'American Football'. Realistically, it doesn't deserve to be called football, because the foot is hardly ever used. What the Americans call 'Soccer' is real football.

    The main difference between rugby and American football is Americans need protective clothing when playing, other nations don't, so there is virtually no protective clothing in rugby. Hence, the British refer to American football as 'American Women's rugby'
