Not one of them come close to Jonah Lomu. I don't think they are pound for pound that strong. That is the whole point they are much bigger than their opponents most of the time. Pound for pound strength it must go to the SA sevens players, they are much smaller than the Fijian players but they cut them down and dominate them in the rucks although they are much smaller and lighter. If those SA sevens players had the Fijians size and weight they would have destroyed everybody.

Well to be an Olympian, you have to be good at running, jumping, wrestling, throwing and most of all intelligent. Rugby 7s breeds these types of traits. You don't really need to be intelligent in rugby 15s. You can be super dumb but still win in rugby 15s. You can not be dumb in rugby 7s or you will loose. See the difference? LoL

Biggest lie ever sold 😂😂😂... South Africa physically hammers every nation on planet earth, we seem to slowly regaining our runnjng patterns as well. Nice try though, water muscle doesn't replace brute strength

[@MA-ik7ys]

Thats odd, you certainly have a losing record vs new zealand

[@stallionxxx7734]

South Africa naturally sucks!!! How do we know this?? Well if a human being is naturally good at something, then they wouldn’t need a school to teach them and quite frankly South Africa has an actual rugby school to teach them how to play rugby hahahha. South Africa has all that fancy training equipment in a school for rugby but they still can’t win a Olympic gold medal!!!!! Lmfao. Fiji has 2 rugby Olympic gold medals in a row. That’s a big statement my boi. Them fijians are naturally strong that they can beat you playing rugby with flip flops on hahahha.

Fantastic in Sevens where they have space to run. In rugby union 15's they are not that impressive. The big forwards from Franse, England, Ireland Argentina and South Africa bully them upfront.

Why do people always compare these poor third world nation countries to the more developed nations in the west?? I would like to see the European teams play rugby with the same funding and resources that these guys have , they'll probably stage a walk out. Of course the western teams are always gonna dominate bruv the English rugby team probably has more money than the countries of Fiji,samoa and Tonga combined.

They also need consistent games against tier 1. Having tier one games maybe once or twice every 2 years doesn't help growth.

@ACEKING actually you are going back and forth, so I guess you are the fool you claim to be. I'm not bitter I just just like to point out the obvious. Europeans conquered, dominated and enslaved Africans (just as Africans enslaved eachother) because they're the dominant race. You don't need to take my word for it, history shows us that ..
