[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1039408, member: 72409"] Haha well said I dunno, Dawson seemed to be the epitome of a SH for me, high tempo, off the cuff player, especially well suited to his time Looking back, you can see a lot of the current player builds wouldnt survive in those 1997 games, or even maybe 2009. The speed of scrummages being set, the pick and gos at the back of rucks, asking a defense to set in time would be a nightmare, and you simply couldnt afford to be 22 stone for 80 minutes at such a brutal pace [/QUOTE]
