How's American Football's rule different form Rugby's?

Except that players have to wear lots of protections in American Football?

Answers:
Watch both the games and compare the similarities, and differances.

To me the only similarieties are tackling and converting a try/touchdown.

There are so many differences.
for american football

Complete stoppage in play after every tackle of the ball carrier.
3 teams for differant jobs, attack, defence, special teams.
timeouts
coaches challenges
they have some very strange rules aswell
Unneccesarry roughness
pass interferance
holding
there are 7 referees in american football.

these are only a few to name
You'ld be better off asking what the similarities are. I think grabbing around the neck or head is the only one I've noticed.
real men play rugby
rugby- ball cannot be passed forward, you can tackle a player and bring him to the ground, then legitematly stand on the bugger if he wont give you the ball, and then invite the rest of the team to do the same.
american football-lots of tight pants and jock straps, certainly in touch with their femanine side. cant ruck, scrum or maul in case their padding doesnt protect them.bunch of girlies
Our (American) Football sucks.and British sports (e.g. Rugby, Lacrosse, Polo) are so much better. I have never watched an actual Rugby game though, sorry. It's not widely played here. Look on Wikipedia though for rules of both games and such.
They are two totally different games the only similarity is that the ball is roughly the same shape.
Nothing about these games is similar in my eyes.

The Americans like to prance about like faggots in their tight suits with the armour plating, so they don't get hurt. The only good thing about the American game is the cheerleaders - I wouldn't mind trying out a few of them.
