[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1039409, member: 82670"] I look at it the other way, I think we all romanticise past players from different eras when in all likelihood they’re not as good as their present day counterparts. And it’s not even just physical/size thing. If you look at the 2nd rows in 97, for example, skill levels are not as high as they are today. Try saying that Martin Johnson wasn’t as good as 9 out of 10 locks today though and you’ll get crucified. [/QUOTE]
