Still though, it isn't a very "talented" sport. Like i said, everyone can pick that ball and run and hit another player. There is nothing special about it.
Nah those pics aint rugby, that's totally Aussie Rules Football. Rugby Union forwards make those AFL guys look malnourished.

Just like there's nothing special about kicking a ball, I mean c'mon toddlers can do that. I'm just messin to make a point, the talent required to be on a world cup soccer team is right up there, but the same amount of talent is required to play rugby, Aussie Rules, or even American Football. They each require physical conditioning, in-depth knowledge of the sport, basic techniques and skill set. There is a place for all these sports, and different sports require different things from the athletes that compete in them.

And if you want to talk about acting skills, think back to when Dennis Rodman was playing basketball. He would work people over get all physical and aggresive until he saw and opening and then he was on his back on the floor waving his arms and acting all hurt that he didn't get a whistle his way.
