Question:

If the australian rugby team had all the fine league players would they be able to become first in the world?

by | earlier

With players like Lockyer, Inglis, Folau, Hunt, Bowen, Minichello, Civinecivea, Smith etc

I belive they would easly due to Lockyer alone but what does everybody else think?

Of course they would destroy. And if you added a few AFL boys to the mix no one would beat them - course you would still need the brains behind the operation - Kiwi coach.

Edit: How many tri-nations championships you fellas got?

Mmm  . . . two world cups and two tri-nations championships each, ha ha, mate we have just a few more, hey bro.

And what professional era triumphs are you eluding to?

The boys in black have continuously spanked both RSA and AUS - neither of you have beaten NZ even half as many times as we have beaten you guys. 128 test against the ABs and you have won . . .  38 tests?  Hardly convincing mate.

What's the difference between an Australian and a mollusc ?

One has an organ of soft nervous tissue inside it's skull - and mate, it isn't the Australian !

the league players would get to bored and hate having to take the ball back to the over weight pack so they can slow the play down and hide the ball ( playing all pile on )

they would stick with a collision sport and actually play for scoring try's instead of standing around waiting to kick the ball as far as they can or getting frost bite if playing in England

you stick with union and let us carry on watching speed power and try's in league

hope you can stay awake during the 6 nations i know i will be on the edge of my seat during that time as the league season kicks off the same weekend

No, these are all league ladies and wouldn't foot it with the big boys.

No.

The required skills for the forwards is different. In Union the forwards have to keep at it non-stop for 80 minutes , not have a charge , then a rest . The only forward I know of who made the transition successfully is Brad Thorn . According to the newspapers Willie Mason put some "feelers" out to play Union . No one wanted him.

The transition is easier for outside backs , but of the three League "superstars " that have switched in recent years ( Sailor , Rogers and Tiquori) only Tiquori has been successful. The other two were good , but not the same impact they had in League.

Haha ur funny damian.

Its a wonder why Kemble is replaced by an Australian in Wayne Bennet.

Why have the All Blacks choked even with the great Graham Henry? Not sure; Australia and South Africa sure have their coaches sorted out, with two RWC wins each, with professional era triumphs to boot.

Sorry bro, as a kiwi you shouldn't mention the two words-coach and brains-in the same breath.
