[QUOTE="Wally, post: 1735"] You need to get this idea out of your head that rugby union backs arn't as skilfull as rugby league backs. There are only a minority of rugby league players that do have good ball skills, Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler for example, but not everyone in league needs to have those skills. You don't need them if you're a centre or wing. All you need is to be able to take the short ball. In rugby centres generally have fantastic skills. If the play was as frequent in rugby as it is in rugby league then I'd much prefer to watch the Wallaby and All Black backlines perform then the Kangaroo and Kiwis. f***, even Wendell Sailor said there's more skill in rugby backs.
