Jonah Lomu - A living rugby legend - Tribute Videos

Jul 26, 2008 - Michael Bennett has a personal best of 10.18.Trindon Holliday has a personal best of 10.02. And there are a bunch of American football players that probably have similar times to Chavhanga but haven't ever actually been timed. In terms of pure speed, NFL players are probably the fastest of any team sport in the world. However, what they lack is endurance.

Jul 26, 2008 - You hav a really good point here, but im so sik of people saying we all love AFL in Australia! Only one state in Aus, victoria, actually likes this game. Rugby League dominates the other states. not rugb union. there different yanks!

Jul 26, 2008 - that might be the case but the best AFL teams in Australia are localised outside of Victoria apart from Geelong..port adelaide, Sydney, Western bulldogs and Brisbane lions are the among the best..nrl is still the best sport in the world in my opinion with Australia being the most talented NRL nation in the world.. go the kangaroos

Jul 26, 2008 - Im pretty sure there are plenty of football (real football) players who can do 100m in under 11secs. Henry, Ashley Cole, C.Ronaldo, Kaka, Eto'o, Martins etc..Also, the fast NFL players are fast because all they really need is speed and agility, plus being able to catch a ball. In football, speed alone isn enough (look at Craig Bellamy)

Jul 26, 2008 - This was a really poignant video Thanks... Big Jonah got the whole world wanting to know about Rugby Union back in 1995 and your video captures the stature of his legacy brilliantly

Jul 26, 2008 - HAHA every kiwi knows the run against england in the 99 world cup.classic lmao

samoantoa08 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - no offense..Im a lomu fam..but receivers in the NFL are way faster than lomu..they all run sub 10 sec 100M..Lomu at his prime ran 10 and some chang...and u could never know if lomu is stronger than some of the big receivers in the NFL because they've never played against each other...

samoantoa08 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Yea but footballers are weaker..they are not as strong as NFL players...But there are many NFL players that run 9 and some change 100 M dashes and are bigger ans stronger than ROnaldo, kaka, etoo, or martins..

TitanicWarrior Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I doubt there are any NFL player who run in the 9's, thats bs.My other point was that fast NFL players just have to be fast and be able to catch, and thats enough to be a good player. Being fast in football is not enough, you need ball control, skill, finishing, vision etc...

AaronC183 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - All day every day, thats how he dew

samoantoa08 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Dats bullshit man..U need to have ball control in NFL too..And skill to do jukes, stiff arms...Besides, ur argument is very fuckin stupid..U cant compare a more physical sport to soccer...NFL players are both fast and very strong..Soccer players have more finesse and are with the exception of a fe, are very weak compare to NFL players...And catching aint easy with every one on the other side is tryin to hit it down or catching it themselves...U do need a lot of skill to play NFL...It aint easy

Jul 26, 2008 - nfl is not a sport what is the point of wering pads and stuff it is crap soccer and rugby da best

ziji44 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i play football and im a running back, it has always and probably will always be my favorite sport....... but i have to admit: pads are 2 protect AND THESE RUGBY GUYS ARE HITTING EACH OTHER JUST AS HARD AS WE DO MAYBE HARDER, AND THEY R DOIN IT WITHOUT PADS, that takes guts

dabomb218 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Sports science measured rugby hits compared to football hits, and football hits came out to be over 3x harder, and the pads dont pad the hit, they just spread it out so it doesn't break bones, which still happens a ton.

dabomb218 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Also theres a college runningback(Jonathan Stewart) that can bench 450 pounds(thats 204.55 kilos) and he runs a 4.32 second 40 yard dash(thats 36.576 meters). And he wasn't even the best runningback in his class that year, like around 3rd or 4th best in COLLEGE., The reason the NFL doesn't have olympic type speedsters is because they are too fragile to stand the hits that you need to be able to withstand. But the NFL does have several who run in the 9's(Devin Hester, Primetime used to, etc).

yeapsyeapsyeaps Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Can sports science measure the impact of a 120kg, 480kg squatting chunk of Maori running at 38kmh? Rugby isnt a science its a sport.
