interesting points. but then again, rugby is hardly the toughest game in the world to learn. american NFL pros must recall intricasies of plays from playbooks which often are over 100 pages in length. in rugby, ummm...skip 1, skip 2...yeah, its not that difficult. point here, is that NFLers could learn the rules of rugby with absolute ease. the physical aspect? i am sure you were joking about that one. there are no athletes faster, stronger, and tougher than those in the NFL. i am wrong, the NHL's athletes are equally as bad ass. besides, once some poor aussie took a hit from lavar arrington...that would likely be the end of his rugby career. i guess the US has to let the rest of the world feel like it is the best at something. soccer and rugby it is then!
