American Reacts to 11 Rugby Players who would DOMINATE the NFL

Don’t forget that all these players will easily put on 30lbs muscle on if they switch to nfl since they won’t need that much stamina in a nfl game.

[@luketurner2180]

Another great vid. But Tuisova is a running back plain and simple - he's rapid, strong and would absolutely tear it up, similar to Marshawn Lynch or Derrick Henry. Tuisova has a 7's background too so he's got an engine on him

[@Jonwallachio]

I think the biggest challenge for rugby players going to nfl is two things. 1. The plays are a foreign concept. Just learning how to run a route or understand the xes and oes is totally foreign. The good thing about this is that it's something you can learn... but it's a steep learning curve, and you're competing with guys who've done it their whole lives. 2. The body height. Rugby players just run more upright. To me, this seems like a huge issue for rugby players. It's really hard to completely relearn your bodies running mechanics.

[@QSNgg]

You're right about that Jon. It's a big transition and mindset shift from one sport to the next. Both of your assessments are 100% valid

[@Bwk-mj4pm]

I wouldnt say "DOMINATE" with their current experience. But if they played American Football their entire lives then it would be accurate.

[@dreammaker9642]

Kolbe with no experience would dominate. The plain simple reason is you can’t catch him so if he gets the ball with even the slightest space you lost 30 yrds already. Just because American football has lots of space compared to rugby so if then can break a defence like it’s nothing in rugby doubt they will stop him. It would probably change how the game is played just like with rugby

[@QSNgg]

I agree with you on that

[@gregcable3250]

Built like Haloti Ngata but a bit smaller. Haloti played Rugby for his high school team in Oregon (I think) and they made it to the national championship. He played football in college and was a good nose tackle in the NFL. He did not have the speed (4.85 in high school) or cutting ability to play running back--he did a lot of running the ball in Rugby of course. I would guess that Tuilagi would be a lineman in the NFL, too.

[@QSNgg]

Yeah Haloti Ngata is the perfect comparison. That's a great call Greg!

[@GrantKanaar]

​@chrismichael2586 yo OK 4sure... no worries... another "bulls" northern transvaal story for you from a long time ago...I'm old enough to remember...this one relates to rugby going to NFL... 2 northern transvaal players - Naas Botha and his team mate Cliffy Brown left SA and rugby in 1983 to pursue careers as kickers in the NFL. Neither quite cracked it, Naas for the dallas cowboys and Cliffy for the new Orleans saints. Naas however did end up playing club rugby for the dallas harlequins the same year and with him as their fly half they won the US rugby championship - he then returned to SA the following year to become springbok captain. I think Cliffy Brown went to the UK to try rugby league as it was a pro sport and union wasn't. Other South Africans who went to the UK to play rugby league for money were former springboks Ray Mordt and Rob Louw.

[@chrismichael2586]

Amazing, they just hate Wales so much. No one even cared for American Football until LRZ announced his intentions to try it. Bit of Jealousy I think! This happens all the time when They do well in the Six nations too, rules always get changed in order to give advantages to attacking teams, Wales’ domination from 05 to 21 came in a solid defence, so they brought rules in to make it harder for defensive teams to win the tournament. You get bonus points for scoring more than four tries but not for not conceding them, which I have always found weird!

As a SA rugby fan. I also know a bit about NFL.They are very different sports. NFL players tend to be faster and stronger BUT!, they only have to keep it up for short bursts. You also have a lot of subs in the NFL so players can go 100% every play. Rugby player tend to be tougher because of the nature of the game. Broken fingers, you keep playing. Blood everywhere, you keep playing. With rugby you need rounded players that can do mostly everything and that is learned from a young age. In NFL each player does very specific things.

You have great knowledge and insight of sporting capabilities across different sporting codes. Other than Cheslin (as a punt returner, or maybe as a wide receiver) and Caleb Clark (as a running back), most of the players on this list wouldn't get anywhere near the NFL. Not saying they aren't sporting FREAKS ... just not moulded to be suited for the NFL. Louis Rees-Zammit is giving it a go (check him out - he is a great talent from Wales), but even he will find it difficult to make it on to next season's team sheet. Only one RFC player comes to mind that absolutely would have been successful in the NFL. Jonah Lomu. In fact, he was offered a ludicrous amount to switch codes and play for the Denver Bronco's, but he was a home-boy and not lured by money and thus turned the opportunity down. In some sense it is a pity as more people (specifically Americans) would have become aware of his unbelievable talent, but in another sense I love his humility to stay grounded and be with his "family". Had he played in the NFL, he would've have been in the company of Walter Payton and Jim Brown ... without a doubt!

Don't get it twisted.. there are parts of an NFL game where these star rugby players could do damage and be freakish like open field running with ball in hand, or a one on one tackle where you need proper tackling technique to bring an attacker down who's not running directly at you which many NFL defenders are up for. But to say dominate is disrespectful. Tuisova with the ball at speed is gonna cause damage in both Rugby Union and the NFL its simple physics added in his insticts as a Rugby player to beat defenders one on one without blockers can be a positive and negative in the NFL.. he could get trapped with no blockers and find a way through due to this instinct Rugby players have.. or he could get slowed down or get stuck not knowing how to run with blockers infront of him. Rees Zammit our latest player to switch over would do freakish things if he gets the ball in the open field.. he'd swerve outrun and break tackles at will.. the trouble is him learning the routes and plays to be given the ball in positions that he's not vulnerable in with some space to move juke and outrun defenders which is his strength.

Great question, there are a few RBs and special teams players that are his size like Darren Sproles. Cheslin would definitely need to pack on more weight though

[@jasonstevenson4067]

Definitely check out Rosco specimen, these were not his best clips in my mind. It looks like he kind of moves slow (even though you know he isn't), but his footwork is so good that it he makes the defenders look like idiots. He doesn't need a huge top speed to break a line. And on top of that he is actually super fast.

[@QSNgg]

I'll for sure check out Rosco. It's wild when athletes have that deceptive speed and footwork. Super hard to play against someone that talented

[@wesrobmat]

Is it just me or are rugby hits just the hardest in sport.

[@QSNgg]

I've seen sport scientist test rugby vs football hits and they proved football hits harder due to the speed and physicality of the sport. Football is more wreck-less with tackling than rugby as far as player safety

[@GeckoMTGA]

It's a little sad not seeing Eben Etsebeth on this list. That man would either protect his QB or wreck the opposing QB...

Yeah it's a very tough crossover for sure. Football and rugby are definitely trained very differently in terms of speed, power and endurance

[@robertcornelius8056]

@@QSNgg As an Anglo Saxon follower of rugby I have been following the pathway of LRZ and it’s a real eye opener . His combine stats show just where he stands and even with his much vaunted speed on a rugby pitch , his 40 yard dash time would rank him only 30th against the 2024 intake . His other stats are less than impressive . His rugby skills maybe will allow him to return kicks but I don’t see him starting ever as a running back or wide receiver

Two comments. Lawes plays with the limits of the laws. A couple of those hits looked a little late. Then, though it is not the point of this video, it should be noticed how often the defenses were still well organized on a few of the breakaways to stop them.

[@QSNgg]

You said it perfectly Ned! I agree with the hits and I like how you pointed out the defense was still well organized

makes sense

[@matthortop559]

'spats' look stupid. Use the same colour wrap as your socks so they blend in a bit. Some wrap them so high on both legs it's like they are wearing white socks.
