She's right. The toughest "Rugby" competition in the world is Australia's National Rugby League competition. Here is a big hits clip: http://media.putfile.com/Rugby-League-Video-BIG-hits70
I got nothing but respect for Rugby players. I've played rugby before and you get some serious shots. I've also met some pro-rugby players form Australia and those are some huge dudes. Easily as big as NFL linebackers, tightends and RB.
Oh yeah Kate Beckinsale is hot too. I could care less if she called the NBA poofy because I'm not interested in her opinions on sports.
even with pads these hits have to hurt http://video.download.com/3800-11177_53-6079.html?tag=vdl_prefs_watch_tmp
This is what I'm saying. There is NO WAY rugby players could withstand hits like that, even with pads. I have to laugh at people who say NFL players are overpaid. Those guys seriously take their lives in their own hands with every snap of the ball. BTW, those two Earl Campbell highlights actually gave me wood. Is that wrong?
I also have nothing but respect for rugby players and think they're sport is awesome to watch. That said, you cant compare it to football players. Even with pads, some guys get knocked out and have concussions with freakin state of teh art helmets on. There's a reason american football has pads. Athletes are bigger, stronger, and meaner not afraid of putting you ass down. If american football players woudlant last in rugby, then they msut be saying rugby players can do much better in american football? If it comes down to it, why not hold rugby match between the euros and professional american football players or vice cersa. Yes i know its totally different rules, but you tell me rugby players arent gonna think twice when they see Ray lewis or Javon Kearse across the field. Someone please corrent me or educate me, of some of the rugby games Ive seen, the player can only ahve the ball for no more than 5 yards, and then has to lateral or kick it? Its been a while since ive seen a game.
In other news Edgerrin James slammed Underworld saying that, "It has none of the depth of characterization or delicate byplay of Aeon Flux. Ya heard."
Breathtaking. No one should diss football players because of their pads. Without the protection, I think at least 5 players would sustain career ending injury in each game. On a side note, I saw a few tackles in the clip would be a 15 yards face mask penalty in today's NFL.
If football is for girls, why doesn't she put on pads and try and take a hit from Ray Lewis? I'd like to watch that....
r u serious? you think Kate Beckinsdale is hot? She is extremely plain jane looking, The only reason anyone thinks shes hot is because shes on the screen, other than that, the girl is ugly
She's full of ****. Football for "girls"? Please. I'd like to see her take a catch a pass coming across midfield, knowing that somebody like Ray Lewis or Ronnie Lott was waiting to try to decapitate you. Is rugby tough? Sure. Is football p***y because they use pads? Not on your life. And, incidentally, when was the last time you saw someone "dance" in the endzone? They may celebrate or spike the ball, but dancing? I mean, c'mon: the Ickie Shuffle was 20 years ago. Get with it, lady! As for baseball, I don't think anyone will tell you it's a tough-guy sport, but then neither is this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/specials/world_darts_championship_2003/default.stm She's just bitter 'cause we kicked their ass in 1776. Their 0 for 1 against us.
Man, this thread reads like a crisis of American masculinity. "Our overpaid athletes are much, much tougher than yours!" She's yankin' yer chains.
shes just a plain jane looking girl. Nothing about her stands out, she could be doing television, making guest appearances on Friends (before it got cancelled), and noone would notice anything.
she is absolutely a pretty girl. there's no argument about that. stop it. you're hurting me and you're embarassing yourself. it's silly. she's attractive at the very least. stop. please. i'm begging you. p.s. can i dance with your date, then?
