Yes you can, and not only can you do that but it happens all the f**king time :lol:
Such high fitness levels, must be why you get super endurance athletes like Matt Banahan and Leonard Peters playing the game
You're talking about one guy and one team, and even that's disputable. I've lost count of the amount of guys who've dominated for the NZ sevens team only to turn their back on it when they get a sniff of top level 15s.
Doesn't matter. I wasn't talking about whether Marshall could do it, I was talking about the athleticism and skill required in the sevens game as a whole being the stuff of fantasy, as is proven just about every time a league team jumps into a sevens tourny. Look at all the games Kenya have won, or the USA with their super athlete endurance failed american football players :lol::lol:
There's no point me saying much more, doubtless you'll disagree and continue to overhype the semi-pro sevens game.
For anyone who wants the truth of the matter you need only watch a sevens video and look at all the amazing skill and athleticism and tactical nous

The bit at 2:35 is special, look out for his "sevens nous" is running past number 9 who isn't even paying attention :sarcasm:
Those are meant to be highlights, btw. The best sevens teams in the world can't even keep the rugby giants of Portugal, Canada and Kenya scoreless, but we're expected to believe we couldn't throw a league team together and give these guys a game, if not beat them outright? Come on.
Sevens is just a subpar game. These 7s teams would get curb-stomped if they came up against a league 7s team, or alternatively the best guys available in the 15-man game.

If sevens teams picked the very best then the teams would all be filled with stars from the 15 man game and rugby league.
