Popular Irish sport that is more physical than soccer but less so than rugby

In Gaelic can you bounce the ball?

Yes, but not twice in succession. While running with the ball you can kick it to your hands, drop it towards your foot and kick it back to your hands. This is called a solo run. You can do that as many times in a row as you like. You are meant to do it at least every 4 steps taken. You can bounce the ball while running, but you must kick it to your hands again at least once, before bouncing it again. So you cannot run basketball style bouncing (you can bounce the ball up to 10 times basketball style but you must not hold the ball between bounces, you then must take a solo before you bounce the ball again) , or you cannot run holding onto the ball, rugby style.

What are the similarities and differences between Gaelic football and International rules football?

They are loosely connected and there have even been special games created taking rules from each to form a new game, but they are very different. It would actually be easier to list their differences.

Similarities include that they are football games, where a player can both kick and catch the ball. In both you can pass the ball to other players, by kicking it or punching it, but not throwing it. It is not allowed to run with the ball, and the ball must be bounded as a player runs, or can be kicked to the hand. Scores are got by scoring at each end of the field by getting the ball through posts, but the structure of the goalposts and values of scores are very different. Both are very fast games and both are very physical games. They both have a high support level in their respective countries, and both are mainly played just in their respective countries. Where nationals of the two countries live abroad, the game may also be played amongst them, but neither are what would be considered as international sports.

What Irish man won an all Ireland medal and olympic gold medal?
