World Cup Rugby

I will admit that I am a recent convert to rugby -- what a great game! Looking at the size and athleticism of these guys, I am shocked that NFL teams have not tried to throw some money at a bunch of them.

I know that there have been rugby kickers brought over, but it looks to me like you could develop some of these players into spectacular linebackers, tight ends, full backs and possibly safeties and halfbacks. It is always difficult to take people from one sport to another, especially when they have no history of watching the NFL, but what a pool of athletic freaks! Yowsers.

Despite being in England, I am not really a rugby fan. I have thought the same as you, the players over here are not really paid like footballers for example. The problem is with the England team. the average age is over 30!!!
