[QUOTE="Warrior Rugby, post: 460477, member: 57281"] This is very true. I i'm a very heavy 2nd row lol that has to do with eating to much whilst recovering from a bad injury....but anyway when I started playing rugby I was very physically strong, 6 ft 2 but was getting knocked off the ball to easily, driven to much etc etc.... I started doing Tai Chi and the dynamics of my game changed drastically also my mind (was more focused on the objective (recycling the ball, driving my op off the ball, getting the squeeze on in the scrum etc...) rather than worrying about my make up (height, weight, size vs theirs) which should be done off the pitch in your training and prep). Your height and weight is something to consider as you must look at yourself as a complete package as you must tailor your training but doing something like Tai Chi (which uses very slow and defined and at times fluid movements) will allow you to unlock what you need so you can draw on it when needed. so to summarise my babble. technique and mental conditioning is what you need to look at. you'll find you correct position after a while [/QUOTE]
