These women are brutal, no pads or anything and tackling the crap out of each other.

I wonder how the millionaire NFL boys like receivers and backs would do against these gals.

Having trouble understanding the rules but the physicality is something else.

They would destroy them. Biology will be served in the real world.....every.single.time.

All of the women would be concussed, and most would have broken bones.

I played both football and rugby. Played Club rugby in college. Rough tough fun sport. American football is more brutal. The pads are weapons. First thing you learn in rugby is to keep your head and hands out of any place they can get kicked or stepped on.

I could make a team of NFL linebackers, running backs, receivers and DBs and rule the rugby world. Team speed would be overwhelming.

Imagine lateraling the rugby ball to Herschel or Bo or Deion in their prime. Who’d catch them? If they caught them, what would they do with them? Saddle them up fir a ride??😂

Bet you could make one hell of a gymnastics team too, all from your Barcalounger.

!!!! Our youngest played his senior year in high school. Separated shoulder, concussion, and a few other injuries. Tough sport for men or women.

You have to be tough to play Rugby well. A while back there was a game played by men. One guy was injured early in the game but kept on playing. He went to the hospital after the game and found out that he had ruptured a testicle.

Dykalicious!

You might be talking about Buck Shelford, the All Black Captain.

He had his nut sack opened up by a French player and lost 4 teeth in the same ruck. The team physio stitched it up on the sideline and he kept playing until taken out later in the game by a concussion. Turns out the French were full of amphetamines (per their team doctor later on). On the other hand, it probably isn't an injury the women players are concerned with.

Once again says the man who never wore a jock😂😂😂

I played winger on a club rugby team for two years. The best way to describe rugby is soccer meets football. I loved it. Soccer tempo with football level contact and bravado. Guys get into shoving matches and occasional fist fights on the pitch. The unwritten rule is that the home team had a kegger party for the road team and whatever happened on the pitch is left there.

Please tell me your referencing rugby, not gymnastics?

LOL

That has all to do with the level of athletes and nothing to do with the sport itself.

Sounds like a challenge.
Come out here to Gods country and we can set up a little "hunter" triathlon course or some such, mr. athletic supporter.
I'll even throw a couple C notes in for kicks and giggles.

Nothing against football, just gooning Red Buttons bragging on his "team building prowess".

My Canadian cousin played highschool, college, and semi pro Rugby. When he quit playing he became an official. He said as a player it was rough, but as an official it was rougher.

And what do women do when the men become as women?

LOL, yes rugby, I just thought SBT's comment on the barcalounger was funny. No offense hat.

Agent they playing 7s? Hate 7s Rugby. I want full field mayhem.

Are the Olympic women real women or football 2d stringers?

It would be an interesting experiment. I played rugger as a young bloke, and thanks to an American teacher at high school we learned about the American version too. Apart from the helmets and pads and stuff, the big difference for me is that a good rugby game flows, and players might be going hard for more or less the whole of each half, perhaps with just the odd breather while a kick or lineout takes place. American football seems to be a few seconds of movement, and then everyone stops. You also have people who only get wheeled on for one job, where in rugger while everyone has their position everyone runs, everyone passes, everyone tackles, and you also may have to drop kick and punt. You also don't change teams just because the ball changed possession, and of course you have to run the ball forward, or kick and chase, there's no forward passing.

Without taking anything from your US footballers, I wonder how they'd go not only without the helmets and pads, but also with having to cope with all of that, and go hard across two 40 minute halves, back and forth. It is one thing to be fast, for example, but you're not worth much if you can't also tackle, pass and all the rest, and do it for the whole game.
