Trailblazers

[TRF_Cymro]

While there have been a number of players to have crossed codes from union to league or even dabbled in football or cricket whilst holding down a rugby career, the transition from rugby player to American footballer or Aussie Rules player is a journey less travelled. So in this week's Scrum Sevens we trail the fortunes of the hardy few who put their reputations on the line and attempted to make the grade in the national sports of America and Australia.

Interesting piece, anyone think of any others that they might have missed.

I know Sav Rocca moved from AFL to the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Miles Craigwell and Leonard Peters are american footballers who are now playing for the USA 7's/15's side.

Was Craigwell not released by the Miami Dolphins and then showed footage of a 7s game and took it up from that?

Yes that7s pretty much what happened. Apparently he was watching 7's on tv and decided he wanted to play. Or so goes the story...
