having watched 2 six nations rubgy matches while i was over in ireland and england...I can safely say this:
Players go for much harder hits in american football as opposed to rugby. American football is also much more complicated and strategic than rugby.
Rugby has more flow to the game. It doesn't have plays that last 3 seconds and minute long gaps between plays which makes american football annoying. It also has more room for improvisation than american football.
Sure euros can say *this sport* (rugby/gaelic football etc) is like american football, but without the padding. But realistically, there are a lot more subtle differences than you think.
For me, even though I had fun watching France beat out Ireland for the title this year on a last second score at the Manchester airport, I prefer american football over rugby. I love the strategic part of american football.
