...and, at least here, "rugby" can be broken down into "rugby league" and "rugby union" (and both are dramatically distinct from "Australian Rules Football").
Here those who don't follow soccer tend to call it "soccer", while those who do call it "football".
Personally, I prefer the unprotected, concussive, collisional brutality of rugby (of either sort). It reminds me of wrestling Adrian for control of...well, anything...but there's less blood, bruising and bone-breakage.
