[QUOTE="NZbloke, post: 1056196, member: 85358"] Big diff between 2% & 30% - both professional & amateur eras have to be involved... we will have to agree to disagree on this one. In the amateur era the rivalry between the ABs/Boks was huge & also brutal... those were the days of rucking, so if you got on the wrong side of the ruck the forwards would ruck you out like a pip with rips in your jersey with cuts & bruises to go with it too... have a look at this 1956 article of the Boks tour of NZ concerning the AB prop Skinner & some of the other Bok forwards.
