I do not have enough knowledge of that sport to make such a judgement.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that "bigger, stronger can not only be faster, more agile but can be more skilful"; and I think this is an area where those in charge of the development of professional rugby players should be seeking guidance and ideas from their American football counterparts. There is no inherent contradiction between strength, speed, agility and skill. It is just a matter of players being better directed and prepared to work much harder.<BR/><BR/>I assume your reference to players' bodyweight applies to those in the top two tiers, i.e., internationals and Super 14 level players. That being so, the only disagreement I might have with your projections is the reference to "<B>all</B> backs." There is already a definite tendency in the direction of greater size, but I would expect - and hope - there would always be room for the very skilful individual who is somewhat lighter than the norm.Bruce Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05466442058398972309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20216581.post-1137269817266557062006-01-15T07:16:00.000+11:002006-01-15T07:16:00.000+11:00Although I think that you underestimate some of th...Although I think that you underestimate some of the American football guys athleticism, however I agree bigger faster explosive is the way forward. Sadly South Africans don't agree, well at least the general public, in a number of posts people talk about players getting bigger and stronger they speak about diminishing skills and agility wrongly assuming that bigger means muscle bound and slow. I believe bigger, stronger can not only be faster, more agile but can be more skillfull. I think the lack of focused defensive training and conditioning will form part of the future of union training. I am intrueged that people were very accepting of Jonah Lomou's size and speed but fail to see that all backs should weigh in over 105Kg and lose forwards 115kg and tight forwards at least 125 plus (my feelings and estimates)always capable of great speed of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
