I think top tier rugby players are being drastically undersold in this thread. Has anyone ever watched the All Blacks play live? When I lived down under I went to a couple All Blacks/Wallabies games. I had a similar view point as stated in this thread before watching the best in the world live.

Could NFL players dominate at rugby? Absolutely. Would they pick it up and be destroying teams/players that have done it their whole life quickly? No chance.

I think we're assuming the NFL players get time to learn the game and train for a while before playing.
