If you got Ladanian Tomlinson and a few of his closest friends...
 

...and paid them enought money to make them drop everything and train daily in rugby for 6 months, could they win the Rugby world cup?

I just tend to think that LT, LJ, Ray Lewis, etc...are better athletes then the guys I've been watching in the RWC the past few weeks. Faster, more agile, etc...

Some of my Irish friends have violently (literally) disagreed with these sentiments.

Thoughts?

As someone who has never watched a rugby game, I would say yes.

Athletically its not really close but idk bc those Rugby players have prob been around the game their whole lives.

6 months? lol, no. And I know almost nothing about Rugby.

Also, those dudes don't wear pads or helmets = LT crying to mom.

It'd take more than 6 months. They are vastly better athletes but I imagine there are instinctual/tactical/etc. things that LDT et al. wouldn't get. They'd dominate the rugby guys physically but get out executed.

rugby requires a huge amount of stamina and endurance that nfl players dont have
