If you're an American football fan and have wanted to know about Rugby, this video is for you. We go into the basics including the two codes of Rugby, the general rules of Rugby, and the history of these games.

This video answers questions like:

What is Rugby?
What is a Scrum?
How does scoring work in Rugby?
What is the difference between Rugby Union and Rugby League?
What is offside in Rugby?
What are the rules of Rugby?
Why is Rugby similar to American Football?
Did American Football start as Rugby?

I left out lots of stuff, including Rugby positions and some smaller details. I'm happy to make a follow-up video! Tried to keep this one short but also informative, and I cut about 10 minutes from it to keep it at my desired length.
