Comparing Football and Rugby; the Debate Rages On

The never-ending discussion continues as the popularity of football grows throughout the world. While they are no longer in the NFL, former rugby players like Australia’s Jarryd Hayne (San Francisco 49ers) and Kenya’s Daniel Adongo (Indianapolis Colts) helped fuel the fire of debate without question. But as the video shows, both games feature raw physical action, excitement, dazzling athleticism and both generate a passion that is mesmerizing.
