The Shoot

[Lucas]

real life rugby situation:

when i was visiting trinidad i was hanging with a south african mate i met at the marina. we were walking through a small village town, caranage (SP) i believe is the name. We had just finished visiting with a couple of rastas up the hill and were walking down a hill in the street to head back to the street party. all of a sudden some guy comes rushing past us and grabs my buddies watch and rips it right off his wrist. without hesitation my mate rushed him from behind and slamed him into a car, busting the passenger window and sending the guy inside the car. he grabbed his watch and walked off. i told him 'that was tight' he said, 'hey years of rugby and surfing mate'

worked for me. a fight? no. real life? certainly. theif didnt even have a chance to fight back after that slam, we left him drooling in the car.


funny side story, that night we were COMPLETELY **** drunk and he fell off the back of this chicks catamaran 4 times. lost his wallet, glasses, and his watch. his grandmother gave him that watch before she passed, and now its at the bottom of some bay in trinidad lol

Having played both I van tell you this, BOTH produce some serious MOFU's !
American football is much more high impact, that is a given, but rugby is far more taxing and lots more "dirty".

Well, maybe in Canada, but Aussie rugby players are all gentlemen, who don't cheat, don't drink, and don't associate with women of low moral fibre.

Ever go to the HK Sevens? Canada and the US send teams....

You think Rugby doesn't have big hits? LOL

And some Aussie Rugby League:

spinning some guy up in the air, off balance is easy. Try taking down a predator hand to hand, square-on, on the trott.

BTW, note the great double leg takedowns at 52 seconds to a minute 10 in the first.

Comparing the hits in those vids with the one I posted is like comparing a horrible wreck in a Nascar race with the bumper cars at a carnival, and if you think those 'takedowns' are instructive of how to execute or defend a double leg takedown you are really missing the point.

Hey! Chill out Dude! I don't expect you to believe anything, or think anything...

You have demonstrated you don't know sh1t long ago, in this and many other areas. No need to suffer under the misconception that anybody is actually paying any attention to what you think.

I just trolled you to turn my yank mates onto the Kiwi Haka and some groovy sport footage, you self important wanker....you just provided the opportunity on a 'slow news day'.

Fark - seems like you really got some strong feelings about 'Rugby Fu' LOL!

And I guess we know where you stand on 'nascar and foo-ball", eh Bubba?

Really? What are those "strong feelings"? And where do I stand on Nascar and football?

How in this, and in what other areas?

Jesus some guys will argue about anything, you won't see many expert double legs in rugby, nor will you in American football, you will see hard tackles in both sports and guys getting injured all the time, can;t we all now get along

Why would I want anyone to take me to the ground?

I would try and use their momentum to spin them around and throw them off to the side. I have worked this a bit.

Though I would much rather take out my CRKT Folding Hissatu knives and cut the dumb a s s .

Why would any of you not want to end the real fight as quickly as possible?

use a weapon and make them pay.
