There's a helluva lot of difference between rugby and american football, bud.
Namely, rugby has different laws, and no padding. [/QUOTE]Not much difference, just change one law.. Allowing foreword passes, add a touch of body armour to hide steroid induced mass, 100 years of isolation and hey presto.... American gridiron 
[/QUOTE]Two laws: 1) forward passes; and 2) blocking of players not in possession of the ball. Oh, and forgot one - if someone on the other team is stopping the ball from coming out at a ruck, you're allowed to treat him as part of the ground and give him a soft-shoe shuffle. Though they don't like that rule much in England...
