All Blacks, Zebo, Vunipola and others respond to NFL punter's bold rugby claim
By Ian Cameron
The All Blacks have responded to an NFL punter who has claims that they would 'dominate' rugby 'easily' if he played the sport.
Free agent Marquette King caused bemusement on the social media platform and drew plenty of guffaws when he tweeted: ‘If I played rugby I would dominate it easily’.
The NFL punter was deluged with a tonne of good-natured backlash.
The All Blacks tweeted back at the former NFL star: "You’re welcome to join us for training anytime."
King seemed surprised by the response, Tweeting later:
He also seemed to enjoy the response of Squidge Rugby, who tweeted: "If I was a bicycle, I'd win the Tour de France'.
Maybe the 31-year-old could yet take an offer to play the game, be it in Major League Rugby (MLR) or even at his local rugby club. One thing is clear, he certainly knows how to engage rugby fans, even if his approach is a little maverick.

So being sorry and remorseful counts more than being a repeat offender?
Go to commentsWatched this podcast and Goode clearly has no idea how venues and games are organised. He had Hamilton and Biggar embarrassingly for him rolling in laughter trying to claim the AB’s management and players chose where they play tests 😂😂😂 because he says the last time they played SA at Eden Park was like 10-15 yrs ago and thats why they have this record - clearly unaware that it’s only been in the last couple of years SA have had the ‘wood’ on NZ.
