Quote ="joanne callotte"Made me laugh , this.
ALL RU props are "rotund", and , apart from being able to shove a bit in the scrum, offer nothing else.
Apart from Solomona, and Widders, i cant think of another "chunky" in SL.
Props should have a physique like Mick Vella, the ideal modern day forward!'"
The only thing funny is your complete lack of knowledge.
A prop in union has a completely different job to do than in league. Theres not one RL prop who could hold his own in the scrum against any of the premiership teams. The set piece in RU is a completely different animal than in RL and far more important. If you think all they do is bend over and push you know nothing. Willie Mason can't play in the front row in RU the French are struggling to find a position for him different games require different attributes.
Its all well and good people talking about how we beat the rah rahs 20 years ago in a sevens competition when it was essentially a part time sport. RU has moved on and if you can't see it you are either blind or deluded.
I have stated on here before that RL is my first choice sport but I appreciate RU for what it is. There are lots of bad games but there is a hell of a lot of good stuff to watch take a look at the Super 15 games.
One thing everyone on here should know is that the RFU no longer see RL as a threat no RU players are banging on the door to get into RL and it is not because they are not good enough it's that RL has nothing to offer them anymore.
