[QUOTE="captainamerica, post: 27667"] Regarding rugby (even soccer) at University level it is completely different overseas. If players are good, they don't actually play at University, they play on Clubs (either 2nd/3rd sides or Colts depending on age and ability. Maybe even first side.) Granted, there might be an exception of a couple schools known for their academics as well as athletics, but it's not really comparable to football in the States, where the vast majority of players get recognized for their college career. If you offset a college side with potential 'rookie of the year' abilities in every position, they might be able to hold their own (not necessarily win) against one of the lower NFL teams. [/QUOTE]
