What a game.

I can say, hand on heart, that some of this seasons games have been some of the best sport I have seen for going right to the end...
The ref fiasco nearly messed the season up, but its been great so far.. and the game on right now could be just as good !?

Disagree.

Handegg players may be larger in terms of raw muscle size, but in endurance and general fitness rugby players are on a completely different level. In rugby the players cover way more ground and have far less standing around between plays like Handegg players do.

Depends on how you describe the term 'athlete'. I don't consider huge guys with no endurance to be the world's best athletes, personally. The average Rugby player covers 4.35 miles per match, for Handegg it's 0.19 miles.

In fact, i'd even say the size issue is debatable.

You're putting all of your focus on endurance. So what? So by your definition a marathon runner is a better athlete than Usain Bolt. Laughable lad. It's the combination of skills and natural abilities.

How many plays did Rice run tonight ? To even suggest that he isnt an elite athlete, running against that defence is, quite frankly ridiculous.
 
Many players in the NFL were multi sport athletes in college. Jeff Demps for the patriots was a track star and even competed in the Olympics for the USA.

They are insanely talented athletes, you can't compare them to rugby players it is completely different sport.
