Who Would Win: A Somoan Rugby Team of a Squad ofNavy Seals?

[potato_masher]

The other day, I was just wondering that if pitted agaianst each other in mortal combat who would win, a Somoan rugby team or a squad of Navy Seals? For a little clarification, the Rugby team would have all their fixins' (i.e. striped shirt and very high socks) and the Navy Seals would have theirs (i.e. assault rifles, assorted kevlar, night vision goggles, etc.) Now consider this carefully. Although the Seals may have fluency in 4 languages and know 12 styles of unarmed combat, the rugby team isn't any rugby team, it's a Soman rugby team. Let the battle begin!

...I'm almost afraid to ask, but I'm feeling adventurous... why do you think the Somoan Rugby Team would win?

Why, you ask? Well take a looksee at this. I mean, that would make even Rambo shit himself. In an unofficial field poll taken at my school, 4 out of 5 spaced out teens said the rugby team would win. That's gotta mean something. I think it's a pretty even match.

[Call me Frank]

Well then, take a look at this...

Personally, I think the seals would win...maybe I've seen one too many action flick where the ranger/seal/SAS op/delta force guy beats the crap out of a bigger opponent, but I think that the seal's training would win out, in the end. Not to mention the automatic weapons. It would be careless of us to forget the automatic weapons.

[Necro Romancer]

Regardless of their macho poses and number of veins in their legs, they're still a rugby team. Unless learning to kill others is part of their training, I doubt they'd win.

I think that is the Samoan ballet team.

[potato_masher]

Automatic weapons? Bah! That's not a Samoan ballet troupe you looking at, before you is 250 pounds of terror in very high socks! You dare question the combat effectiveness of a Samoan rugby team? For crying out, they've got warrior heritage in their blood. Calling this a no contest would be like comparing disgruntled postal workers to door stops.

Does anyone know of any Seal-dopers? I'm sure they could settle this...

[Cardinal]

the Navy Seals would have theirs (i.e. assault rifles, assorted kevlar, night vision goggles, etc.)

If that is the case, then the question is a troll.


I could kill the rugby team myself with that equipment and 15 minutes of training.

Well, I do play my fair share of SOCOM II for my Playstation...

I believe seal-doping is illegal in most states.

Tune in next week for "Who would win: An F-22 Raptor or a really cross owl?"

[Adjustable_Beavis]

Its second hand info. But I have some good friends who are ex-navy and I have heard their Seal stories. So, my money goes on the Seals.

[Duke]

Which team is wearing the bee costumes?

[jk1245]

Is this SEAL team with or without Charlie Sheen?

Cuz, it's impossible to say until you know that fact. Kind of like Vegas not putting out a line when a QB is questionable for the game.

[MaxTheVool]

And what about "Lava Lava" Lenny? Is he on the samoan team?

(A bright shiny quarter to whoever gets the reference...)

[RotorHead]

I've known a couple of Seals. The Samoans don't stand a chance.

Remove all the standard gear and give everyone a sharpened pencil, and the Seals still win easily. Unless maybe you put the Samoans through a couple years of actual hand-to-hand combat training.

That has to be the the funniest thing I've read in about a week, good one!

[StGermain]

My brother was a SEAL. Hands down, even at pushing 50, I'd bet my brother could take on the entire team. In fact, because after he left the navy he joined the army and was a Ranger, he could do an air assault and most of them would be dead before he hit the ground. Seriously.

I don't care, just as long as the All Blacks don't win.

The owl. It can shit in the Raptor's face.

Sorry, next week's already been booked by "Who'd win: English soccer hooligans, or George Armstrong Custer".

[levdrakon]

Samoans have warrior heritage in their blood? Their rugby players are trained in martial arts? Is there a Samoan martial art?

News to me.

Actually, there is. Samoan traditional martial arts focus on the spear, staff, club and axe. However, they had an empty hand style as well, resembling classical jujutsu. Probably very similar to another polynesian style called Lua; which, is also now extinct. I think in Samoa it is called Ma'a ... I'd have to look it up.

The modern style is called Lima Lama, and was actually created by an american from polynesian tradition.

So is that equating Sitting Bull to a bunch of Millwall fans, or that evil fucker Custer to the Turkish police?

[ellis555]

Do I get to pick the state, too?

If memory serves me correctly, though (and my connection's being too much of a bitch for me to hie on over to the town hall to check the archives), Lenny only played American football. Mebbe that warrior spirit extends to an innate grasp of rugby.

Anyhoo, I'm off to the bank.

[Bippy the Beardless]

What a silly question. The Somoan rugby team would drink the Seals under the table, then steal their automatic weapons for use against the All Blacks in the next match. The following day still hung-over the Somoans and Seals would share the comunal bath. Forgetting their mutual differences they would form a long a binding cross-cultural alliance eventually leading to homosexuality being accepted within the American Armed Forces.

[Kulau]

Automatic weapons would obviously make no difference whatsoever, the navy seals would drop them in terror and fall to the ground in foetal positions crying for their mummies the second they saw the Samoans, obviously.

News to me.

Not warriors as in fancy combat moves, pacific style warriors as in muscles and spears and clubs. The Maoris invented trench warfare.

Mind you, most of the talent on the Samoan rugby team has moved to New Zealand rugby team.

Now THAT would be a match.

The Navy seals Vs. the All Blacks, the All Blacks being largely made up of the BEST of the best of the Samoans, plus the...

Tongans

Figiians

And of course, the Maoris and Europeans too

Mwahaha. Ha.

Me, biased? No way!

Who Would Win: Cardinal, armed with automatic weapons, 15 minutes of training and a huge stick up his ass versus a navy seal team composed of somoan rugby players.

[Cardinal]

So you're saying that the question was obviously just a goof? It's not worded that way.

I stand by my answer, Mr. Snarky.

Well, IANAFP (I am not a fighter pilot) but if the owl gets sucked into the engine intakes or hits the Raptor's windshield it could possibly end in a tie.

What do you think the service-ceiling is on a modern-day owl? I know that they've made great advances in tail-feather technology, but I still don't think they can fly as high as an F-22....

And IIRC, aircraft canopies are generally tested for bird-strikes, I can't imagine that the US Government would invest billions of tax payer dollars on a jet that could be taken out by an owl....wait a minute... US Gov....tax payer dollars..........hmm...my confidence is shaken...
