[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1116887, member: 72520"] Another one who, from what I’ve heard, was encouraged to lose quite a bit of weight. Went from around 128kg to the same weight as Francis; about 120. Bizarre given that he was in great shape anyway, at least as far as tight heads go. It’s a lasting result of Pivac’s desire to play fast, open rugby. The tightheads were all encouraged to lose a load of weight so that they’d be fitter and more mobile, but it was that weight that made them good props in the first place. [/QUOTE]
