Horrifying form or not, the fact that this young man basically reverse-curled 374 is pretty insane.

You've proven time and time again that you know absolutely nothing about rugby. You are clearly some junior varsity football playing sophomore at some no name high school. Watch the fucking sport before you go on about how unathletic the players are. You're speaking from no experience; aka completely out from your ego and out of your ass.

All I have to say about this rugby versus NFL argument is: Herschel Walker........NFL runningback and US olympic track athlete haha

I can't believe how people can compare rugby players to nfl athletes. The reason why hits aren't that big in football is because every one is an animal. Rugby players do have talent, but not every one posses great talent. Every single NFL player has great talent. Every one is fast, every one is strong. A +6-6 330 pound man can run a 4-7 squat 600+ and bench 225 over 40 times. That is an NFL lineman.

@LexPhilogus

That is not the logic I was using at all. The rugby athlete will not only sprint, but perform the duties of his position within the context of his sport. He must maintain athletic excellence while under constant and progressive intensity.

The fact is football and rugby involve essentially the same aim. The difference being rugby players are in motion for far longer periods of time, taking and delivering hits far more often in the process.

@RedWildz "The amount of yards an average rugby player sprints in the course of one game"

By that logic, marathoners are better athletes track athletes. The amount of times you do something is not indication of raw athleticism. A guy that runs 100 meters in 12 seconds 20 times is not a better athlete than a guy who can runs it in 9.8 seconds once.

@GGxBeast Try Savers, and Rib Breakers. go watch some of those, and tell me that a Jonah Lomu would get run over by Adrian Peterson, i will place money that any Prop in rugby will out run, out man, and out hit any Defensive or offensive lineman in football, i will place money on the fact that any inside center, or outside center in rugby will crush any fullback, running back, or tail back in football, i will place money on the fact that any scrum half, is an overall better athlete than any qb.

@mrApollo352 Play rugby... i dare you. football players wear pads because they need them so they don't get hurt because football players throw themselves at each other, they don't take the time to make smart, dedicated tackles it's who can throw their body weight harder.
