Urban explained the difference. I believe American Football is rubbish, in a real mans sport they shouldn't need padding or helmets. Let them play Rugby and we'll see how well they size up.

Rugby has no forward passing, no fumbling without penalty and no offsides i.e the players on a team can't be ahead of the guy with the ball. You get 5 points for a "touchdown" and 2 for the conversion. You get 3 points if you kick a penalty.

League there are 6 plays of the ball, where the 6th is usually a kick to the opposition to gain territory. 4 points for a "touchdown" and 2 points for a conversion. Same rules apply to Union as they do to league except a few things such as "lineouts", which only Union has.
