I played rugby through college and after, and there’s a camraderie and spirit present in rugby that is absent in all big-time sports, football included. But, in terms of toughness, they’re equal. Rugby players don’t experience the high impact collisions football players do, and football players don’t play without pads for 45 minute halves.
