The american version of rugby is more like football without the benefit of protection ... the version played in most other countries is more refined, more passing and intricate team work.

The difference is that players in the some other countries learn early how to tackle.

In Rugby, possession is more important than a good tackle. Since in Rugby Union the play doesn’t stop when someone is tackled, a good hit could take you out of play and let the other team pick up the ball and score.
