redbean, you dont think that rugby skill and strategy has evolved over the last 80 yrs in the countries where its most popular?

If I thought that, I'd say it.

But since I didn't say that....

yeah, it's not like the standard of play and the quality of training has improved in every single sport in the last 80 years!

And somewhere in Pakistan, on a forum similar to this, Pakistanis are fervently advocating that their premier cricket team could become dominant in MLB if they were given 6 months training.

That arguement would make as much sence as this.

The few of us who have played rugby have tried to explain the flaw in the argument on apparent transferable physical attributes from one sport to another, but the debate has fallen on deaf ears.

So, 83 years ago, the USA managed to win one game of rugby over a country that was bad at rugby.

Meaningful.

Face it, the US dominated rugby in the beginning, winning more Gold medals than any other country....up until 1924, when it was abandoned after the emergence of Pro Football....and thus, the imperfect sport of rugby was cast aside much like our stonewashed jeans, expired bags of doritos, and 1980's VHS films....given to the rest of the world in hopes they could find something to entertain themselves whilst the real men played football.

Hmmm...apparently you take these threads just a tad bit too seriously.

Nor did I draw any conclusions from something that happened 80 years ago....other than to say it happened, and it isn't as hypothetical as you may have once thought.

That the "impossible" is certainly possible, considering it's already happened once. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I actually totally agree with the rugby guys on this....but because I pointed out that a situation similar to the hypothetical once happened in history....all of a sudden people are jumping up and down mad as hell and making assumptions about my opinions and conclusions when they have absolutely no idea.
