Stongle I'm 6ft 3 and 16 stone 4, and a back player, after moving to the back because of my awareness, or so they say Its not cos I am fat, I can run faster than my front men, and they are not slow !!
I think the game nowadays has evolved like rugby has. You do not get fat people playing in the forwards, they are all fit and lean. Much like paintball, why have a slower less agile and fast player at the back, when you can have a lean mean and fast player there instead. Therefore when the sh!t hits the fan, and you back players are needed to win the game, at least they can make a long move without breaking down into a heart attack!!!
Big up the insert players, thats what I say!!!
