[QUOTE="Z-Town Pirate, post: 163606"] Exactly. Those are two scrub teams with an exciting finish. It's analogous to a basketball team winning at the end of a game on a fluke shot... not indicative of the level of play. I'm surprised to see the amount of disdain Rugby fans have for American Football. My love of American Football is precisely why I love watching Rugby. As for the knock on the athletes as one-dimensional, everyone you see in the NFL played multiple positions at a younger age. It gets more specialized as the level of competition rises. There are many wide receivers who play defensive back (and vice versa) for a few plays a game. But the risk of injury isn't worth having someone play two-ways the entire game, especially in a sport that allows substitutions between each play. [/QUOTE]
