The main different is the passing backwards instead of forwards , also in rugby to score a try you need to have your hand on the ball as it touches the ground.
Rugby League is the closest to American football , you have 5 tackles to score a try , once you hit the ground with the ball thats one tackle gone,After the last tackle you either have to kick the ball forward or score. In rugby union you can play the ball on the ground as long as you are not touching it & you have as many attemps at scoring as you like.
