[QUOTE="formerlyfastwing, post: 466996, member: 52361"] I disagree. The bigger problem might be coach's ability to teach it. If you have a good athlete, that can read a flowing game, ie: hockey, BB, roundball, then he can learn to read the game of rugby. To be honest, any monkey can learn to tackle, ruck, maul. It's the ability to see the where the hole is going to be (this falls under your "rugby brain" comment) that makes the difference. If it can be done in one sport you can apply those skills to another sport, ie: rugby. In fact there is a current international that didn't start playing rugby till he was "old", i wish my old brain could remember his name. [/QUOTE]
