I hazard a guess, being the betting man that I am and having first-hand knowledge of both sports, that the score would be close in the rugby match and approximately 70-0 in the football game. Of course others will speculate differently.

I doubt it'll ever happen but it would be interesting to see, and would certainly shut a few people up who love to sit around arguing about which sport is "better", no?
