Rugby players got to be tough to play without pads.
The "best" version of football I reckon is Australian Rules Football. For natural uninhibited running, tackling, catching, kicking - it is a great game. No 'off-side'. No problem using the hands. No limits on kicking. etc. etc. And it's limited to Australia by historical accident. If we could rewind football history 150 years and introduce the Australian code to the world rather than the Association code, I reckon it would be played the world over by millions upon millions of people.
