Rugby Union, Rugby League, NFL, Australian Rules or International Rules?

Rugby Union, Rugby League, NFL, Australian Rules or International Rules?
So, I am interested in the physical sports like football, rugby and International Rules. What do you think is the toughest sport, bearing in mind, there are many different aspects. For example, in rugby, they play 80 minutes, with only a break at half-time, whereas I believe in NFL, they play in quarters. I don't know much about it so, I need to get some information before talking about NFL. Why is it necessary for NFL players to wear such protective gear knowing full well that their European and Australasian counterparts wear next to nothing protection apart from say a head protector or a gumshield? What are the toughest tackles you have ever seen in matches, what are the biggest fights have you ever seen, or what are the greatest moments that stand out for you when you was growing up, that made you sit up and say "wow!!!"

Best fight:



It just goes to show, Fielden messed with the wrong Marine. Furthermore, if you think McDermott looks weird, it is because he used to play Rugby League with one eye. Mind you, an hard bastard nonetheless.

Best K.O tackle:




If you plan to elbow someone when they are on the ground, expect the consequences. He thought O'Meley forgot, but like an elephant he didn't. 

Best try:




No-one beats the Chariot. To put things into perspective, Offiah scored 444 tries (touchdowns if you are American) in 424 matches. Jerry Rice is the best player in NFL history with 208 touchdowns, and by the same token, most touchdowns are scored when received from a forward pass, which is formally interdit in all rugby codes.
