There are four significant differences between rugby union and American football.
1 – A team's total number of players.
Rugby features a 15-player field that stays on the field for the whole game, but American football only has 11 players on the field at any given moment.
2 – The flow of the game.
In American football, the Quarterback is considerably more likely to lead short, rapid, and tactical plays.
This contrasts with rugby, which emphasizes a slower build and methodical march down the field in search of a gap to run through and score points.

3 – The scoring system.
In both games, the greatest method to score is to score a touchdown (6 points in football) or a try (5 points in rugby).
4 – The game's elapsed time.
Rugby is divided into two 40-minute halves, while American football is divided into four 15-minute quarters.
In American football, a team is allowed to use three timeouts every half.
In rugby, however, there are no timeouts, and the referee is the only person who can halt the clock for reasons such as major injuries or consultation with other officials.
