Oh, I believe he would have enjoyed this version (http://historyoffootballreally.blogspot.com/2009/09/romans-and-harpastum.html) as:


The game bore striking similarities to rugby and the players had to get the ball over the opposing line to 'score'. Harpastum was an incredibly fast and physical game - it was also quite violent and tackling was allowed.

And Izzy would have been a big part of it as Harpastum was also known as the small ball game.
