I'd put any basketball player against any rugby player and bet on the rugby player every time~
In random competitions of athletics? Then you are an idiot.

um, no, you are
sprinting
I'll take the rugby players
weight lifting
I'll take the rugby players
Swimming
I'll take the rugby players cause I'm betting most of those big black dudes can't swim
Shooting
Have to go with the NBA thugs
Boxing
After watching the slap fighting NBA do you even have to ask? Rugby all the way
pick an athletic event other than highjump/longjump and rugby players win hands down. maybe shotput too, cause that's all shaq does from the free throw line

Just straight out wrong, without a doubt.

Also dead wrong.

This isn't really an event, but Australia is populated by criminals.

Probably, although I don't know a single rugby player that would want go up against Artest.

Sure, let's eliminate all events that have to do with athleticism. Then Rugby players win, np.
Almost all Rugby players I've seen are short squatty guys... almost none are known for their speed over their strength. NFL wide receivers and corners and such would definitely outrun the average NBA guard but not rugby.
This is a stupid fucking argument btw. Everyone knows the real athletes are Canadian shufflers (if that's even the correct term).

Apples and Oranges Apples and Oranges. Kind of a pointless argument really, there isnt proof one way or the other that would be definative. Unless they have a all sport track/obsticle coarse where sports go against sports in athletics you cant say one over the other.
