Another Jonah Lomu. He'll be cut before the two-week try-out.

Lomu never tried out for a NFL team.

[ProudVirgin69]

He wasn't even the best player on a not-very-good team.  Maybe he'll be a natural like Jimmy Graham or JPP and pick it up right away but chances are he's gonna suck

[Parker]

At first I was thinking this was about "The Cheetah".

[Teutonic Knight]

Lomu never tried out for a NFL team.

+ Great New Zealand team with him "lost" to South Africa for all that Mandela crap.

Probably couldn't lay a bunt down on the third base line.

At least get the story right.

The All Blacks were poisoned the night before the game.

Half the team were throwing up on the field during the game.

Jonah was one of a kind. We will never see his like again.

Hope this helps.

[Wiggs]

fast as fuck. Wow.

[Cleanest Natural]

hahaha .. he is AMERICAN!

so, 23 yo american kid takes up "rugby" and 12 weeks later makes one of the toughest teams looks stooped hahaha

I guess this settles the rugby vs football argument  

NFL is a WHOLE diff ball game when it comes to athleticism

US could ask the top NFL guys to train for a a few weeks to learn the rules and would win the 13 cup nation easily  


on a side note, he is very fast even by NFL standards .. what's scarier is that he has good hands so he could play more than just corner..

[Cleanest Natural]

There you go..world fastest rugby players .. 11.10sec for the fastest time .. Isles got 10.11sec for the 100m .. same time basically just look at the numbers

I told Grant Michaels a long time ago that Rugby was just sandlot football in the states on the weekends for those of us who put on the pads.

This is a rugby 7's tourny you dumb fuck 

Speed is really all that matters, so much space.

Greatest international team ever in any sport.

But fuck me can these c/unts make excuses and complain when they lose. Even in Richie McCaw's autobiography (which I can recommend to anyone) can you find bitching and moaning about the referee in the 2007 World Cup loss to France. Outplayed by Dusatoir. End of. Almost outplayed by Dusatoir again in '11.

I wish that just FOR ONCE they take a loss on the chin and don't resort to whining like little girls. I spent some time in NZ 6 weeks ago and still people bitch about 'Suzie' and 1995.  

Again, great team nonetheless.

[arce1988]

4.2 is sick!

[arce1988]

 
This is the fastest time in the electronically timed era.

Fastest reported time ever was Bo Jackson at 4.12

Which was heavily questioned, until he ran a 4.18 40 yard dash later that same week.

Electronic or not, he was amazingly fast, along with Sinkfield

2007 was the worst refereeing display ever.

France did what they do against the all blacks, we fear them more than any other team at the world cup, but 2 massive calls changed the game. The forward pass try and the sin bin of Luke McAlister. The anger at the loss was all to Wayne Barnes.

[Mr Nobody]

Soccer sucks twinks running around chasing a ball.

And when the ref allowed play to continue in 2011 when Parra were receiving treatment yet stopped in right away when Crudden got hurt?

I'm sure if we dissect the match play by play we can find McCaw skirting with offside and Owen Franks collapsing scrums.

The point is, every team takes their chances or get their breaks.
