I agree with Eddie fully on the fatigue issue. It will bring the size of the average player down as they need to be leaner and fitter and potentially reduce the impact of the hits as a result.
Average NFL game with the ball in play is approximately 11 minutes out of 60 mins game time. This is over roughly 3hrs and 30 minutes and is spread between offensive and defensive teams, special teams and unlimited substitution. So maybe a maximum of three minutes game for those who play the most.
I think that the back row and backs in general have become interchangeable. Many larger centres and even a few wingers could have easily played in the back row and did. Remember Jonah did play as a back row in his youth if not mistaken.
That England vs Italy game was a classic.
Well played Italy for coming u with that.Quite astounding.
Best coach ever
quite agree. the rugby that quins side played in 2011/12 was outstanding.
No World Cup victory as a head coach.
Nah
