Rugby Vs Football

A piece of individual skill in rugby = "Should I throw it one way nope I will throw it the other, fooled you ddnt I, hey"

A piece of individual skill in football = A Maradonna turn, A stepover, A Cryuff turn, Overhead kick, A "Di Canio" kick, A backheel

See where im going here?
