The new emphasis on 7's and the fact that 7's is a spring sport means there's a ton of guys playing rugby in football's off-season. This alone is going to completely reshape America's performance in the sport.AIRWOLF said:
I still think USA Rugby should scoop up a bunch of bubble NFL players (like guys that are on and off practice squads) and train them in how to play rugby. I don't think it would take long to see the US National team become really fucking competitive in the sport, particularly in Sevens.UW_Doog_Bot said:
I grew up with a couple of guys that played in the league and I played rugby at UW. I played with some guys who were really big, or really strong, or really fast. None of that was so bad but yeah every once in a while you would have to play a guy like this who was just on such a different plane of athlete that combined all those other things. It sucked and there was usually nothing to do about it. Guy like that could just wreck a whole game by himself.animate said:
I've seen haloti's high school rugby highlights. 6'5" 300lb and runs like a deer. He could have been world class at rugby ...AIRWOLF said:
I have a friend who played MLB at the FCS level and also played rugby. He played rugby against Haloti Ngata in some tournament in high school and said he was a total bad ass, which qualifies as fairly unsurprising, I suppose.animate said:
I want those guys too ... but if I had a choice and pulled Haloti out from a time machine ... it's Haloti all day every day.AIRWOLF said:I want Joe (and Danyiel) Ngata more than I wanted Haloti.
He said the combo of the guy's size and quickness with the total absence of pads was absolutely terrifying. -
Excited to receive an offer from Clemson University! #ALLIN

Martavius Bryant isn’t a bad comp for Joe.

USA rugby is already doing that. Where do you think they got the black guy who has been named the fastest rugby player in the world from?UW_Doog_Bot said:

Wasn't aware. I've been saying it for years. Glad they finally listened.Edwin_Bambino said:

Thas why I said it. Unlike soccer the US is actually a sleeping giant in Rugby. If more guys that are marginal NFL talent(at best) like Wooching chose to go play rugby after college then even the Tri-nations are going to have to take notice. I still prefer 15's but if 7's can make it in the Olympics and helps grow the sport in the US then I'm on board.Edwin_Bambino said:

With FSU and UF trying to recruit the West Coast, I'm curious how that will affect the recruiting landscape for the PAC. -
Hopefully it means Larry Scott invests in developing a west coast Caribbean food culture.FKA_Mousecop said:

No one on the west coast gives a shit about Florida and Flordia State not worried

Why are you posting screen shots and not tweets, man?RDR said: -
Too lazy to figure out how to post tweets, man.

Too lazy is a terrible excuse. It takes way longer to take a screenshot and upload a photo. Just admit that you are old.RDR said:Too lazy to figure out how to post tweets, man.
