Literally.
Incidentally, rugby's proper name is Rugby Football. But you probably already new that.

@Albatros: Agreed that we got well diverted from topic. We should just wait until the "UK Economic Crisis Solutions" or one about spin-doctoring pops up.
On topic: More footwork in a Rugger game than a US "foot"ball game. The average scrum rather depends on foot/ball contact.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all" Mario Savio |

Rugby started it, we just ran with the mistake.
Well, when Europe began to make rules and names for Soccer and Rugby we were left out of it so we had Soccer, Rugby, and Rugby with passing(football). Europe just had Soccer and Rugby.

There's more kicking as well, though progressive removal of footwork is apparent. Automatically Appended Next Post: halonachos wrote:

If I recall correctly the forward pass wasn't a legal play in American Football until about 1900.

I thought it was the lateral pass that wasn't legal... time for RESEARCH!
