It might be a good idea to type his name into Google before posting anymore.

But let's also not act like special athletes can't build up endurance if that's what the sport they're playing requires. Like pretty much anyone can run a marathon if they care enough to do the training. It literally isn't an obstacle for world class athletes to last 80 minutes if they want to do it.

lol

a basketball rat playing rugby
 
Who ??????
NBA player. He's 6'6 285 and the most explosive jumper in the league. He's an athletic freak who has enough skill to potentially be a great basketball player. If he dropped 15 pounds to get into shape to last 80 minutes and actually grew up playing rugby he'd be awesome.

All I'm saying is the US has enough freak athletes playing mostly NFL and NBA that would be awesome at a sport like rugby if they grew up playing it.

Sport isnt about strength and power tho, surely you know this?

I mean explain why American Rugby players are so bad?

So good nobodies heard of him lol..... he’d get smashed playing amateur rugby in the welsh valleys.

Football isn't about strength and power. Basketball doesn't have to be.

Rugby and NFL football? Don't bother showing up in the forwards/trenches of those sports if you aren't a freak in terms of strength and power. No amount of skill makes up for it. In fact the only NFL position that is more skill than athleticism is QB. The rest of the positions the best policy is draft the fastest and/or strongest guy and go from there.

You can build up endurance sure.

Technique is another thing entirely. I hate rugby but I doubt some random basketball bloke could just randomly turn up and play rugby. (Maybe he has played it before?)

I'm talking about the pack mate. Did you see the Springboks at the World Cup? Absurd power up front and amazing agility at the back. Yes some kicking skill is involved at 9 and 10 but most of the team is going to athletic marvels. NFL is the same but without the need for endurance so the guys are built to be even more powerful. But a lot of these guys wouldn't be nearly that big if the sport required endurance and they grew up training that way.

This goes the other way too. I'm sure NZ and England could put together great NFL teams if their was a tradition of playing it at young ages.

Nah I was saying if someone like him grew up playing rugby. I'm sure he could do it in time but I know he couldn't walk out on a field once and play at a high level.
