[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1022776, member: 82670"] This is a lot fairer though I still maintain he’s very good in arm wrestle after all, that has been Wales M.O for a while. I do, however, think that one of the main reasons the northern hemisphere is always behind the Southern Hemisphere is this fixation over ball carrying and smashing people. No doubt this is, was and always will be an important factor in rugby but don’t act surprise when our skill set for back row forwards in particular are so far behind that of say NZ. Tipuric, for me, in terms of the northern hemisphere, was and still is sadly, ahead of his time. Much like how props these days are trying to be more mobile with better ball skills. But this comes down to what game you’re trying to play. If you’re trying to play more of a Off loading game you’re going to want a fast mobile open side with great hands and feet. If you’re looking to bully teams then there’s potentially better players [/QUOTE]
