I have been watching NFL and NCAA football for a long time. Love the game. Just recently I started watching Rugby. I have started following Black Caps (New Zealand) internationally and Premiership Rugby league in the UK.
Let me tell you Rugby is literally the faster and fluid version of American football. The rules are so similar. Touchdown in Rugby is called a Try and its 5 points. And right after a try like in American football you have to kick for a field goal for 2 points.
Tackling is very similar in both sports. You can only pass backwards in both.
Given this day and age of quick outcome, Rugby game is finished within 2 hours.
Do you think this will take off if introduced here at a national league level ?
