It would be interesting to see a comparison of the Physical abilities of Soccer vs Rugby vs American Football vs Aussie Rules Football... American Football, I think would be last. And Rugby vs Aussie Rules.. be in a debatable position.
Christopher Carr
There are different sorts of physical abilities. The fastest guys are in American Football -- a fair percentage of whom competed at a high level as sprinters in collegiate athletics. American Football offensive and defensive lineman are the strongest also.
Rugby and Aussie rules feature some different combinations of size and general athleticism not frequently found in American Football, because the Gridiron game has more specialization in positions.
