The question is if …
The question is if you (no pads) were to get hit by the Hardest hiting Rugby player in the World VS you (with pads) were to get hit by the Hardest hiting Football player (with Pads) Which one would you choose?

one of the world’s best fullbacks and the three main things you need to have as a fullback are speed, catching and TACKLING.

k this is the most …
k this is the most biased most stupid video i have ever seen those rugby players are ing . Jonah Lomu, Shane Williams, Lawrence Dallaglio, Brian Habana, Paul Sackey, Cheval, Gavin Henson and Percy Montgomery are all examples of rugby players who could make Quentin Jammer himself. If you want to do that kind of experiment correctly, don’t get a proffesional NFL guy and some guys who play rugby for a hobby, get the proffesional NFL guy and one of the players I just mentioned

This test is …
This test is RETARDED. Id like to see a profesional rugby player and fotball player both the same size hitting the same thing. there are 8th graders who hit as hard as that rugby player. L.A rugby team? Wtf. get someone from the Wallibies or the All Blacks. This was a dumb test. An nfl player would his pants if he went on a rugby field with no pads.

gridiron players …
gridiron players are bigger than rugby players because rugby players are that fit, they train hard 6 days a week and play 1 day. u see a rugby player, forward or back take of their shirt and they’re ing ripped. They have the most muscle but gridiron forwards have beer bellies, americans are bigger, but rugby are stronger

“Los Angeles Rugby …
“Los Angeles Rugby home games are played at
Dodson Middle school” …Thats straight from LA rugbys website. If you complain about Jammer not being the best choice for american football, you should realise the rugby players are a terrible representation of hard hitters too. They play their home games at a middle school for craps sake

what you need to …
what you need to take note of is the fact that they said even though the football tackle test alot higher than the rugby one, the damage caused was equal because of the padding. that was with a really soft tackle by the ty american rugby player. if it had been a proffessional rugby player the tackle would have been alot harder and therefore the damage caused would have been rediculous

at 2:49 “that gave me a stomach ache”……doesnt he realize in american football people actually brake bones and tear muscles not just get stomach aches???

the rugby guys were …
the rugby guys were from america Methijuana…..and the pads we wear in american football gives us more weight….another thing is that we dont have the grab the legs and scoop rule like in rugby….so in other words if ur playing football and ur holding the ball if they want to knock u down and stomp on u they can they can and middle line backers American football players weigh at least 300 pounds or more

lol, this test is …
lol, this test is made by americans for americans… there is a lot more weight in the dummy therefor a lot more pressure on the sensors, i would love to see a rugby player tackle an NFL player then visa versa and to get those results

That’s true. …
That’s true. Regardless, American football players tend to be larger on average, and considering they play a sport of short bursts compared to rugby which is distance running, American football linebackers probably hit harder on average than rugby players. It’s a different sport though. Apples and oranges to some degree. Different skill sets.

a player from samoa hits much harder than this americans rugby players… this video isn’t real… they need to get the best players of each sport to have a real result

Quentin Jammer is …
Quentin Jammer is not nearly the hardest hitter in football. He’s a cornerback. The hardest hitters are either linebackers or defensive linemen.
