There is no comparison whatsoever in the talent level in those two leagues. I've watched rugby plenty of times in ESPN while waiting for something else. I don't see the type of tackles there that I see in the NFL. And for good reason. Grown men battering head on at full speed without armor of some sort are both going to end up in the hospital.

Give me a break. Neither Soccer nor Rugby can even remotely compare to NFL football in any way whatsoever.
You know what can though? Aussie Rules Football. (For the record, I love the NFL, love the AFL - ie Australian Football League - and love The World Cup).
