Soft Kiwis

All this stuff about All Black Rugby players being so good is rubbish! I recon a ANY NRL side would flog the All Blacks. NRL can play Rugby any day but Rugby cant play NRL.We have speed and are much fitter. All Black players just dont tackle ( Rugby players just dont tackle) and they are soft in attack as well . Think of what Jason Stevens would do if he was in the forwards for the Wallabiies, jeez he would be rolling Kiwis like nine pins! Think of Matt Dunning , he wouldnt even make a park side in League and whenever the Wallabies need players where do they look ?League! So lets not get all excited over some fringe All Black who probably is just a big cat anyway.

I am going to smack the person who mentioned they thought Nonu was coming to the Sharks.

Good call Carina.
Stinks of racism, but I agree in principal.
But the fields are much smaller with 4 more players out there, so I dont go along with your stevo theory.

Same amount of skill.

Rugby players are just more unfit.

I dont think the Sharks could beat the All Blacks in union or league though.

Geez imagine what Doug Howlet would do to Simmons......
imagine what Caucau would do to Covell..... Stupid argument, they are two very different games that people can enjoy both.

Hmmmm big call Carina. You are talking about a club team beating the All Blacks. Thats just like saying my Maltese Terrior would survive the Amazon. Silly argument to say the least.

Have you really got a Maltese Terrier Snoop. Somehow I don't think so.

Different games requiring different types of fitness especially in the forwards. Also the skills of the games are very different. Stevo would be lost on a rugby field as would Dunning in a league game. Do you think Stevo would go 80 minutes non stop in rugby - remember their scrums are real contests. In contrast Dunning wouldn't be explosive enough in league.

C'mon Blacky, that's a bit harsh on Matt.

Might go OK at Sumo.

What about darts?

Rugby always looks way slow and nobody tackles . remember when the Rat first started playing for the Wallabies shure he was crap in attack but boy could he tackle , he learnt that playing League! Rugby players would be ok for the first 10 min or so then a couple of two man ball and all tackles driving them back 10 meters, they would be going backwards the rest of the game. Think what Johns and Beduras would do to them or any NRL forward pack . It would be like playing against marshmellows.

I would love to see you call Carl Hayman or Jerry Collins soft.

or Jonah Lomu.

They are 2 different sports, which require different skills.

That said, I reckon the All blacks would kill most NRL club sides in league...

Once they learned the rules.

League is fitter...

Union has many many fat people... who would be crap in league.

People like collins would be good close to the line. But would be no chance in defence. There are a lot of guys like the dude in my avatar.

Like Glenn Lazuras?, he seemed to go alright at club, state and Country, despite being a fat bastard.
