Rugby and American football are similar in some ways, but they also have distinct differences. Rugby is played on a much larger field, with more players and less equipment. The rules of rugby allow for more physical contact between players than American football, and the ball can be passed in any direction. Unlike American football, rugby does not have downs, and the game is continuous until a player scores or a penalty is called. Rugby also does not have field goals or extra points, and a try is the only way to score points. While similar in some ways, rugby and American football have enough unique characteristics to set them apart.
