Because all the most talented athletes choose football. Thats why Portugal and Brazils rugby teams struggle.

So, with Ronaldo in the front row, Portugal would be world beaters?

Perhaps second row/centre/wing.

Yes i seen that, but i bet someone like christiano Ronaldo or Kaka would possibly wipe the floor with most of them, if not all.

Fantastic.

Ping ping and Archery might be a more level playing field whilst weightlifting you would hope would be the forte but in general fitness, do we think Rugby Players are gods? Many seems to think that.

Looking at this event in particular, and not the Superstars event overhere,where RL players had some considerable success, then I would take my pick of a RL player over Ronaldo or Kaka.

By the way, 'Ping Ping' and Archery aren't even events in this show.

Rather than suggesting we may be wrong for thinking RL players are fitter all round (with some reason - Slater's performance), why not try and explain why you think Ronaldo or Kaka would be better than RL players at things like an Iron Man Challenge, Swimming, Monkey Beams, Boxing, Catching a High Ball, Rock Climbing etc...
