Some players like Patrick willis MAY be able to hold is own, but that would depend largely on his endurance ability and how he is able to pick up the offensive part of the game. Rbs would be the more likely players to succeed imo. Much better all round athletes.

Fact is that some nfl players barely ever touch the ball. Rugby players are basically all required to have at least some ball skills if not a large amount. They also must have endurance as well as size. This makes them just as athletic as nfl players.

So his strategy would be to kill all of the opposing players in less than 15 minutes.

Oh jesus dude, just stop. I played rugby in college and it isn't even close how much more athletic real football players. Example: We had a running back that was cut from the U-M football team (this was when Ty Wheatley was on the team) and the guy came out for rugby to stay in shape before he transferred to another school to play football. He DOMINATED for the few matches he was in. It was ridiculous. |

I really think cp is on to something here. Get on to the college players who dont expect to be drafted and tell then they could make millions a year by playing rugby. They are superior athletes apparently and must be able to become elite rugby players. If not that then they could become hockey players. They would all be much bigger and faster. Forget about the need to learn to skate and handle the puck.

certain position in the NFL would translate to rugby very quickly If you had to put a bet on who would be more successful, a rugby team fielding a successful NFL team or a NFL fielding a successful rugby team. It's an easy bet on the NFL Soccer would be a much harder bet completely different skills sets ... both sides would be a train wreck imo soccer would get crush at American football American football would be laughable at soccer
