[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 985192, member: 72520"] That’s a massive oversimplification IMO. Yes, technique matters more than size, but size and strength are still massive factors and you can’t just negate them. Vunipola gets a lot of stick for the crumbling scrum in that final, and a lot of it is deserved, but ultimately the best loosehead in the world would’ve struggled in a situation where his lock pairing was nearly 20kg lighter than the oppositions. Weight is far from the biggest factor in a scrum but it damn well makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
