Thes big NFL players wouldnt last 80mins on a rugby field
Can you pin point a target with a ball at 50 yards, 40 yards, 25 yards even. I highly doubt it.

Rubgy is awesome, don't get me wrong, but NFL players are bigger and generate harder hits, and if Rugby players were that big and hit that hard, people would die. The pads are to prolong the life of the player.
