What king of ball do they use in the game of rugby?
A Steeden football is used in Rugby League; a Gilbert football is used in Rugby Union and a Sherrin football is used in Australian Rules Football (AFL).The Steeden football and Gilbert football are almost identical, such that goalkickers from the two rugby codes have had kick offs from different positions on the field, with League winning each time.AFL is the oldest codified and registered game in the world. The Sherrin football is marginally different because AFL is a kicking game with players required to bounce the oval football when running like in basketball, and they "fly" for a mark like in Union but they are usually on their own.

Are football and rugby 2 different things in England?
Yes, they are. Football in England is what we call soccer there, and Rugby is a British way of what we call football. Now, both rugby and football are very different things. There are two different types of rugby, rugby league and rugby union. League is played with 13 players per team. Like American Football it plays til the ball carrier is brought down in a tackle, like downs. The attacking team has to score before the sixth tackle, after each tackle, the game restarts with a knock back similar to a scrimmage, if the ball carrier is tackled sixth time possession of the ball passes to the other side. This tends to be a running game with few kicks. Union is played with 15 a side, there is no limit to the number of tackles and the games doesn't stop at a tackle but continues on the ground in a ruck or a maul. A ruck the players are on the ground, a maul the players are on their feet. This leads to more of a mixed game of kicking the ball and running with it. Neither version of the game allows the ball to be thrown forward, and there are no individual squads for attack or defense, the starting 15 play every part of the game.
