That's not cause and effect dopey. As i said, you're citing logical fallacy.
You're trying to enter a battle of wits, yet you're unarmed.
I agree these centres have carried NZ to the final, because of the lack of global spread of RL.
However, these same NZ RL centres, if the Kiwis were to enter as a seperate RU team at the world cup, would also carry them to the semi finals.
They are a better centre partnership than what every team bar NZ and South Africa have. Rob Horne and AAC? There are people who Parra stick in the wenty team better than the number 4 side in the world.
FACT: SBW was a better centre than Nonu in 2012.
FACT: SKD, Matai, Goodwin, Inu, et. al are better centres at RL than SBW
No they're not, utter flight of fancy. gear is a hack, Ranger is a hack, they are both about Phil Howlett's capability... the better of the Howlett brothers.
I have
Where do Crockett, Hore, Faumuina, Romano or Whitelock, even play? They aren't even in the propr condition to stay on their feet after a set of 6 in defence. Hell, Crocket and Fauminia are REALLY dumb, they'd be too stupid to even figure out how to play the ball.
Luatua,maybe, McCaw is too soft to do a hit up and I'd say Read is also too soft to last the game doing hit ups. They are known for piling in a static ruck.. basically what they can accomplish is being 3rd man in a tackle.
Did you know some of us know he's not... lol... and you've just been sprung spitting bullshit... lol.
Remember battle of wits.. unarmed.. that's you.
more lulz.. no he isn't
The game is more open than RU. There is nothing diverse about collpasing scrums and kicking penalties every game, and that's 95% of all RU time in play.
It offers being able to go home to friends and family either the same night, or the night after.
Play shitty 15 or whatever, flying from desolate shithole, to desolate shithole like Johannesburg, to Dunedin, looking for a crowd, playing in 3/4 empty stadiums, locked in hotel rooms and playing for a tiny pay cheque to fulfil a TV deal of 3 tiny markets, that combined is less than 1/3 of the NRL.
Erhh, are you truly that dense? Not only are you on a RL board, you're on the Rugby League WORLD CUP forum, in the midst of the most successful RL world cup of all time.
if this is the state of our international game in 2013, it's actually looking quite healthy.
FACT: The kangaroos would beat the Wallabies, and claim every spot within 12 months of RU training
Everyone rah-rah wanks lyrical about Folau, the entire kangaroos backline position would have a player SUPERIOR to Folau.
I take it you haven't watched a rugby game as of late,if you think them players wouldn't last a set of six your a moroon,most of what you posted is bullshit that I care not to point out the fact that you think the state of the international game is healthy shows how deluded you are and anit gona waste no more time,two decent contest and 50 point score line in a semi final is not a healthly world cup,which equals an unheathly international game,half the players didn't know there team national athem.
Kiwis prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, arguably the best front-rower in the world, has revealed he could return to rugby union when his contract runs out with the Roosters in two years' time.
The 15-man code was Waerea-Hargreaves' first love and, despite his success in the NRL and at international level for New Zealand, he remains passionate about the sport.
Waerea-Hargreaves emigrated to Australia from Rotorua 10 years ago and was such a rising star he played for Australia at the 2007 under-19s World Championship alongside Peter Betham, Pat McCabe, Ben McCalman, Rob Simmons and James Hanson, who all went on to play for the Wallabies.
He was on the books at the Waratahs, but foolishly the Sydney-based Super Rugby side only offered him a two-year part-time contract and he opted instead to link up with the Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL.
And while he has made every post a winner in league, he says he wouldn't rule out a return to rugby in the coming years.
"I always thought I was a pretty good rugby player back in the day," Waerea-Hargreaves said.
"As you get older you keep your options open and all of that sort of stuff.
"I guess you play every year as it comes, I've still got a couple more years on my contract as it is and you never know what happens after it."
Sonny Bill Williams has successfully switched between both codes, Benji Marshall is about to try his hand at rugby and rising Kiwis star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, an Auckland schoolboy rugby star, has spoken about returning to his union roots at some stage. Players these days no longer feel there should be a rivalry between the codes and openly admit to enjoying watching and playing both.
"I watch every All Blacks game and I watch the Wallabies," Waerea-Hargreaves said. "I've played a lot of rugby back in the day with a lot of the current Wallabies.
"I still love the game and enjoy watching it." The Waratahs made an attempt to lure Waerea-Hargreaves back to rugby in 2012, but the sticking point was believed to have been over how much the Australian Rugby Union was willing to top up his contract.
However, if he did make the move back to rugby, it would be a black jersey, rather than a green and gold one, in his sights.
"I am currently sitting in a black jumper," he said in the Kiwis' hotel in London. "So I can't be talking about playing for the Wallabies. I believe I bleed black."
The best prop in the game is a ex RU player go figure,
