Every single one of them could kick your ass.

Having known a few female rugby players I can confirm this is likely true.

Female or male all rugby players are jacked as hell

Reposting that one clip of the Ireland rugby team member literally lifting her teammate up by her shorts to catch the ball, and then safely controlling her drop back down. Badass.

Impressive but that's actually a pretty common "move" at high level rugby.

u/Freakjob_003 Aug 13 '24

I read that on the comments from the video. Still damn impressive!

My cousin's daughter plays, I'm obviously much bigger and stronger than her, and after I saw one of her highlight videos she scares the piss out of me

What an utterly strange comment.

I dated a girl on the college rugby squad briefly when I was a sophomore. Can confirm. She found it amusing to no end to punch and wrassle her little hockey boy. Foreplay shouldn’t leave a black eye, mmmkay? (She was still cool as shit.)

Reminds me of the Dark Knight Rises. Someone discovered Batman's identity. Then Morgan Freeman's character, Lucius Fox, challenged him saying:

"Let me get this straight, you think that your client, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante, who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and your plan is to blackmail this person?"

Same applies to JK Rowling. If she doesn't like Imane Khelif, then Rowling is free anytime to challenge her to a bout in the ring. I'd pay big money to see Imane teach Rowling a lesson.

Yup. Rowling, Musk, Tate, every single one of those famous bigots deserves a round.

Elon musk would gladly accept that fight. 

And then get scared and back out of it soon after.

He would bring a note from his mother syaing he can't fight.

Pistols at noon! Sounds like a great new Olympic game to me.

Sorry to be pedantic, I just watched it the other day, but that was from The Dark Knight. It occurs when the joker was trying to have him (Coleman Reese) killed and Bruce ended up saving his life in his Lamborghini murcielago (which is actually Spanish for bat, so it’s his subtle daytime batmobile haha. Always loved that Easter egg.)

Correct, typed my comment a bit fast. Both great movies.

u/elspotto Aug 12 '24

Oh heck yeah. I will get cable just so I can pay per view that.

Wouldn’t jk be the Bruce Wayne in this scenario? Surely the mass amounts of cash she has could buy her some badass protection.

u/StupendousMalice Aug 12 '24

God I hope so. Preferable one at a time, but whatever works for them.

u/caffeineandvodka Aug 12 '24

Do you think they'd kick my arse if I asked politely?

u/ManufacturedOlympus Aug 12 '24

I dare you to say that to his face. The guy in the OP is an e-sports athlete. Once he gets behind a keyboard and mouse, shit gets real very fast.

u/OrganizationDeep711 Aug 12 '24

Sounds like toxic masculinity. Checkmate.

u/Flimsy-Discount2885 Aug 12 '24

Nothing toxic or masculine against visiting violence upon bigots. That's just doing the Lord's work.
