Football recruit from UCLA tries rugby, does this

Here is a quick RD Blitz submission that came to us from a match in Los Angeles between UCLA Rugby and Loyola Marymount University. It features a huge tackle that drove the ball carrier back quite some distance. 

The game was a few weeks back at UCLA and on the field for the home side was big Sean Seawards, a recent recruit from Football. As you can see, he appears to be made for rugby.

And after a tackle like that, you'd think he will be giving rugby a go more regularly.

The Loyola hooker flew at least 5 meters, and thankfully, landed safely and didn't appear to be injured.

With this kind of physical domination, UCLA won the contest 59-5.

    When/if the USA develops a stronger rugby culture and picks up more players from American Football they will be a player base to be reckoned with.They might not have the skills of the All Blacks, developed through being handed a rugby ball in the crib, but the physicality and athleticism they have on offer is mind-blowing.

      Putting rugby on the map for the general public in the US will probably have to go through sevens though, where the USA already are a side to be reckoned with. Suits their athleticism and is easier to understand for newbies. They'd probably have to pick up an Olympic medal to really get some attention though.
