[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 155618"] Could still end up scrummaging against those type of guys, even at a lower level over here. For example, had any come over and played in National League One (the league below the top flight) this season, they could have faced: a highly regarded, current Scottish international tighthead; an ex-Lions and Scotlan international; a current Tongan prop and a guy with no neck from the British Army team. And that's only against Northampton, not to mention the rest of the league. I'm sure you'd find a few grizzly old sods waiting for them in the dark corners of Cornwall and the West Country. Sure, I'll concede you wouldn't throw them straight in, but even training against the big names and playing for Premiership reserves would teach them a huge amount. [/QUOTE]
