  1. That was an awesome home run and he was definitely standing behind the 3 point line, that brown egg went miles, that's what we call a slam dunk and I don't know anything about american sports

  2. For all the people saying, "this is normal", no, it is not. There are not many players who can kick 60m in the air with 5.4 sec hangtime. It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison because of the different balls but that's an impressive kick no matter how you look at it.

    The kicking skill set is clearly much more common among union (and to a greater extent, Aussie Rules) players but having that kind of power is not common. Where union players tend to really excel in kicking is control/placement.

  3. I got a player in mind. CARL MYERS FROM NOLA GOLD PRO RUGBY TEAM IN NEW ORLEANS. CAN KICK FIELD GOALS 60+ AND PUNTS 5.5 50+YARDS. SHOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM. ONLY 29

  4. "Man that ball got outta here in a hurry. Anything traveling that far outta have a stwardess on it."

  5. The U.K., South Africa , Australia and New Zealand have 10000s of young men that can do this. Currently all sat in a pub watching sports

  6. Facts that a rugby team would smash any nfl team even at their own sport . In terms of strength rugby players are a lot more stronger due to them not having to hide behind pads

  7. People have no idea how much finesse and technique a NFL kicker or punter has. Guys who get 7 figures to punt in the NFL can pretty much make the ball do what ever he wants, not just kick it long.
