USA will diminate rugby within the next decade...(srs)(vid)

[ukero]

although i watch both sports, so i appreciate the athleticism in both sports. but there are two players who i think if crossed over, would be superstars in the other sport

NRL's (rugby league) Greg Inglis. most naturally gifted athlete ive seen. players like this dont come along often. if you ever get to watch inglis run in full flight it is a good sight to watch. also has the best stiffarm ive seen in a player from either sports. dem aboriginal genetics. dude is 6'5 240 and one of the fastest players in the league

greg inglis is not 6'5 more like 6'3

[Michaelangebro]

greg inglis is not 6'5 more like 6'3

he is 6'5, im 6'3 and ive met him irl. he is taller than me

[nab2point0]

So much stupidity itt if people genuinely think that it's possible to turn up and dominate a sport in 10 years. It's a skill based sport and not just athletics. Look at Dwain Chambers when he went into rugby, he was terrible. Need generations of coaching to get a national team to a high standard.

"hes so fast, rugby players will never be able to tackle him ever" - america

[12ccopeland]

lol I doubt it jerry.

[sd3]

strong strong 200th repost of more or less identical thread i saw last week, lol

cant be bothered reading through 11 pages, arguments are all going to be same as last thread.

the guy in OP video plays 7's, yer the US can dominate, 7's is all about who is fastest,

but.... no one gives a chit about 7's

anyone with even a shread of knowledge and understanding about rugby realizes the guy would not be given the space or time in a full 15 game, 15 requires a greater technical ability size and/or speed is not enough in the full version of the game

[surfmore691]

Hows ''soccer'' going bros? I see you're still pretty **** at that

let me put it this way, soccer ****ing blows. boring as **** to watch and not even close to enough money in it to swing over the top athletes in the United States.

[jamnz]

The only reason americans do any decent in sport is because of your large population you ain't a superior race or anything, i watch alot of nfl and agree they are amazing athletes but they can't last 80 minutes.

brb usa 46 gold for population of 300 million
brb nz 6 gold for population of 4.5 million
brb if we had your population we would have 400 golds
brb brb

Why can't people grasp the concept that there is much more to sport than athleticism. Sure Usain Bolt would be better at "soccer" than the average joe, but that doesn't mean he's going to be fantastic.

[Braveheart91]

Only been playing for 12 weeks...Just wait till more athletes start getting into rugby...


brb unstoppable





you Aussies, South africans, french, kiwis and brits irate we have more speed and untapped potential than you?

Scotland won't ever go far, but I've played Rugby since I could walk and I gaurantee I could play vs the USA team and wreck havoc (100% srs). Only reason I'm not a pro right now is 'coz i've gotten lazy and I cba going training (and can't make it on days I do want to go).

P.S. League is alot more fun than Union, played both for a good 15 years each. Always ****ing hilarious when YOU HAVE THE BALL and you smash a 20 stone roided up kunt flat on his arse then run over him. Also 20-30 meter run ups to shoulder charge someone and knocking them out cold are absolute win (inglis style baby!)

[Explision]

Nice video..nice runs

buttttt

they lost every game ?

[ballzofpeaze]

lol few weeks. try a full pre season plus a couple of trial games then you will be able to. but that doesnt even matter, you can be the fittest man on the planet, but that doesnt mean chit because you arent "rugby fit", theres a huge difference, and if you ever played at a high level you would know. americans really underestimate the fitness side of. and dont even get me started on rugby league, you have to 10x fitter than a rugby player to play rugby league (its a different sport, see NRL).most physically demanding ball sport in the world hands down.

I'd say AFL is more physically demanding than NRL. But your point is valid, I am pretty oblivious to what the NFL is, other than a few highlight reals and scattered minutes on television, but I've read the actual 'action' time in NFL is only 12-15 minutes? There is 80 minutes of rucking, scrumming, tackling, line outs, sprinting, kicking and catching in rugby. try be 300lb+ for that.

Mate you're not even in rugby yet and you're already talking sh*t. When you decide to put down the safty padding you wear, and take your skirts off and win a few games then you can talk

[oTough]

Do Ameribah's even realise that America lose regularly to Japan and Canada?

only one big problem:

Americans cant play 15s in football stadiums bc a rugby pitch is wider than a football field.

but yeah, I can't wait for America to dominate rugby

We are already the world's best engineers. I think we could figure out some way to push the sidelines back a bit to fit a field. They play soccer in football stadiums and I've seen rugby inside of college stadiums. Don't worry though we won't steal rugby. Football is so much better to play and watch.

[SkinnyKunt]

EVERYTHING THING ABOUT THIS!
brb american football players may be athletic and are fast but thats running for what? 15 seconds max? goodluck with your 45 minute half of non stop attacking and defending.
brb look at all the fat fuks in NFL
brb what happens when you get hit without your equipment..

and football? goodluck touching the italians, spanish, brazilian, germans, portuguese, ...another 10-20 teams...and chit even da english

fixed

So this means you would be the best rugby player in Scotland(not that thats hard), because I seriously doubt anyone in the Scottish national team could "wreck havoc" on the US.

[toil]

What position do you play? I play winger and occasionally fullback.


You're also retarded if you think a small winger like that guy will have a major effect against strong teams.

I don't see where his potential is "untapped", the video clearly demonstrates he's reached it.

u wot m8? over 3 hours for one game, constant ad breaks due to stoppages in play and ad breaks, no thanks jeff lol

[homedogalex]

ITT: Americans are clueless about rugby

[LaRuso]

I started to wonder as I was reading through this thread and came to the realisation that most of the best Rugby League (NRL) players and Rugby Union players are of the smaller calibre. Not 6ft + characters capable of benching small cars, but the naturally gifted play makers are most often the better players.

I'm not a big Union fan (this is the game the Ameribrahs would know as "Rugby") but as an NRL fan and rep half-back until I was 19, size meant little to me. Coming up against 6ft + Samoan/Tongan/Maori boys was a weekly thing and even though I was tossed around from time to time, it was all part of the game that I loved and was quite good at.

I love watching the NFL as well however, and always take a day off work for the Super Bowl... but nothing compares to State of Origin in my mind.

If you want an example of toughness, watch highlight clips of players like Allan Langer, Andrew Johns and other small players who would dominate and get beat up every weekend. Michael De Vere getting staples in his forehead (without pain killers and whilst still on the field) to stay on the field during State of Origin a few years ago comes to mind.

Theres more to sport than pure athleticism and speed. Brb Usain Bolt becomes world best Rugby player.

[Willrey]

but who was cardio for dat dere non stop 80 min playing time?

[Braveheart91]

Age: 21

Been playing since I could walk bro lol, played up in the borders of scotland with all the 1980-2000 professionals kids, got coached by alan tait.

Best player in scotland lol no. but i used to play with ross ford, who as you can see is ****ing huge, and I ran over him all ****ing day.

[TheRealOrson]

Erryone is forgetting the one major reason that the US couldn't play world class rugby with converted NFL players

There's no way in hell that anyone (ANYONE) in world rugby would tolerate this *******ry after the scoring of a try.

[DANZ0]

Lol I'll believe it when I see it.

[Jaybools]

lol good one op

[kevtoy22]

regular basis? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH U CLEARLY ARE DILLUSIONAL IVE WATCHED PLENTY OF GRID IRON GAMES THERE ARENT THAT MANY BIG HITS MAYBE 1 OR 2. FUUCK ME AND MOST OF THE TIME THE POOR BASTARD DOESNT SEE IT COMING. JACK SOMEONE UP WHOS RUNNING STRAIGHT AT YOU AND IS AWARE OF YOUR PRESENCE THEN IT WILL BE A RESPECTABLE TACKLE NOT SOME STATIONARY CNT WHO HAD NOONE TO PROTECT HIM

The videos that a guy posted earlier about rugby's big hits all of the hits came directly after he was looking straight to catch a kick so the exact same could be said about that.
