[QUOTE="LIONSxv, post: 988056, member: 82756"] That's flawed logic... Parkes and aki are both BTW 10kg lighter than Tom curry. But that's not my point. The likely Welsh backrow that will face England are lighter than manu tuilangi. Tiperic and wainwright by quite a bit. Still doesn't mean you can't make yards. Acceleration and footwork can be of equal importance to size and weight. Look at Billy vunipola is the wc final. Outweighed all of staffers backrow by 10kg...but got owned. Despite his size advantage Ardie savea is a prime example. Great ball carrier but weights no more than an average centre. Going back to curry.. He is a decent carrier but clearly not his game. I'm at a loss why he is playing 8. When his position is a 7. I also don't see why underhill plays at 7 when is more of a tacking 6. Englands current backrow should be 6.underhill 7.curry 8 dombrandt You could argue that gives even better balence than biny at 8. As he isn't a lineout option [/QUOTE]
