@Rocketpig You should really be comparing american football to rugy as the two sports have more in common than with "soccer". Rugy plays are massive as well. Also run just as fast if not faster, don't take ridiculous amounts of breaks and don't wear the same vast quantity of pads. |
Show me a rugby player that is as large, as fast, and as tall as Shawne Merriman.
Again, I'll repeat: 6'4", 272 lbs, 4.61 40.
Show me a rugby player that can even touch that and I will completely retract anything I said.
...
They don't exist. I guarantee you that if the NFL put a cross section of linebackers, defensive backs, and safeties on a rugby field and spent a year teaching them how to play rugby, they would not only beat every team in the world, they would annihilate them in the fashion of the Dream Team.
