>>Rugby is very similar to American football, only there's some skill involved, and not reliant only on brute strength and the ability of one man to throw the ball a very long way. In fact, forward passing of the ball by hand is not allowed, but you can kick it. A touch down is a "try" - getting it over the line, followed by an attempt to kick it over the bar and between the posts (field goal?) which is a "conversion".

OK there IS some skill - akin to that of a novice chess player maneuvering his pieces ... then using them to bludgeon his opponent's pieces into matchwood.
