William Webb Ellis once nicked my soccer ball and ran off with it.

Havent read any of this thread but Greg Inglis playing 13 for the Wallabies would actually give the All Blacks something to worry about. Combined with Folau at the back... deadly.
With no previous rugby history, i would slot him in there after 1 season in Super rugby. My prediction is he would succeed.

He was awesome for the Junior Broncos today, one of the main reasons they got back from 6-34 to 32-34. Looked very much like his uncles nephew if that makes sense & would make a good 6/8 for the Reds IMO. Also sensational for JB's were the Nikorima brothers. I'm not sure where you'd play them in the 15-man game but I reckon they'd carve it up in 7's.

League suits him better,because it is one dimensional.
He is a strong tackler,but a poor defender.
Every time I have seen him play Rugby he had numerous misreads in every game.

whatever happened to Bunny Reilly - he was a terrific player - 'old school' like Langlands, Smith and Fulton - just as Fairfax and Schubert were coming on, and IIRC, Fahey.... never ever hear of him since he hung up the boots...

Been following the ITM Cup and Ryan Tongia of Hawke's Bay has been an absolute revelation on the wing; he's been the comp's top finisher.
Google says he was born in Brisbane, Australia, and played in the NRL and English equivalent league comp. Has also represented Papua New Guinea.
He's only 24 but he's worth a look I reckon - if he isnt signed up already to a NZ Super Rugby team.

I really hope he makes it. It would be awesome to see an Aussie make it in the NFL who isn't a kicker.

Any word on what position he'd be playing, and with what team? I've seen Seattle suggested, but not much on position beyond special teams. One article mentioned tight end, but he's a bit short for that, and I'd question anyone's blocking ability who hadn't played gridiron before -- that's not the easiest skill to acquire at the pro level. I'd sooner go with wide receiver or tailback.
Apparently he doesn't have a contract. Seems like a longshot unless a team has specifically requested him to join them and it just isn't known yet.
He's had training sessions as a wide receiver and a safety apparently but that was only in Australia before Gridiron Australia decided he was good enough for them to arrange trials in the US for him.
