Good grief! Those rugby players are scary. More so than american football players, because you can't run away like you could a 350 lb linebacker.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Hyperbole=exaggeration for comic effect.
My point is that they don't run around all the time; they get loads of breaks between short bursts of speed. Yes, they are very good at what they do, but they aren't distance or endurance runners, and I do run.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: All Blacks Are Violent
Pfft, the All Blacks violent?
Ok Collins is a nutter and we all know that, but I have to say that England usually puts out the biggest group of thuggish brutes in the sport.
Something I'm rather proud of. Though apparently Sheridan is a really nice guy, I mean really.

Oh don't worry I have. They agree and then laugh when we talk about the Lions tourYeah? Say that to a Samoan's face.
The All Blacks do not play with more ferocity, I mean most teams impress kiwis with their tenacity and most of my mates here say that the Irish and the Pumas are the hardest fighters. It's simply that they, like other s-hem teams use a more modern approach to rugby. One of skill and speed. It's not about how heavy the foreward's are or how big the tight's are. It's about how well they can make space for the back line. Something which the English forewards and coaches seem to forget.

So he'd still be considered violent compared to the rest of the Home Nations?
That's the thing with the Southern Hemisphere teams. They know where the "line" is and manage to stay directly ontop of it.They play within the rules, so it's not that bad really.
