Somehow I don't imagine the two sports are comparable.

I'd love to see a crossover event though.

I don't know what direction would be funnier, the friendly local game store tournament field getting thrown onto a rugby pitch, or the All-Blacks throwing down a Blue Eyes White Dragon (don't @ me, this is the extent of my Yu Gi Oh knowledge) during a haka.

Why not both? Before each rugby play, each team has to nominate a player to battle a Yu Gi Oh game. The players that doing the Yu Gi Oh game have to take the field for the rugby play.

Honestly, that makes about as much sense to me as what I think the actual rules of rugby are.

...is that what goes on in the middle of a scrum?
