Would bang both of those Welsh fannies out and then drop kick you for the 3 points.

It's horrible stuff to wear.

yeah I remember being in NY and watching my cousin play (like a Sunday league thing I suppose). Be arsed putting all that crap for the 10 minutes he played

Davies is 6'1 230 lbs and runs like a deer. I think you are seriously underselling his athleticism.

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.

i think it is time to have a simple vote to see if there is consensus to have them on grandoldteam.com. i of course refer to sport as a game like baseball or basketball and not other american pastimes like rampant oil imperialism and wanton slaughter.

I voted bozo. The yes and no are immaterial.

I think you have the wrong Davies.

I used to play. I found I got hurt more by the padding then the opposition. Took me ages to get used to wearing a helmet, very claustrophobic and limits your vision.

You couldn’t knock out a wank lad

I get you, it is pretty big in most cold places though. 1 point for a goal and loads of fights, whats not to like?

Went to watch it a couple of times when I was working on that side of the pond. It was all right, but I prefer to watch fighting in a ring*. To be fair, it was superior to american football and baseball.




*Obviously not in a wrestling ring, I'm fairly vanilla in my sexual preferences.

It would have maybe been helpful to clarify we were talking about the one who is 60 and not the one who will be playing for Wales next weekend.

And I get that not every rugby player is huge but the ones who aren't (and aren't scrum halves) tend to be lightning fast instead which is still athleticism.

I’ve thought that personally, if you have restrictions placed on your body then it gets walloped, then surely that’s going to cause more strain on the ligaments

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.

buddy this is complete trash talk.
