[QUOTE="Aedaphon, post: 414252, member: 46333"] Bloody hell how'd you put on 15kgs in a couple of months? But in terms of advice you're gonna need to up your work rate massively from wing to flanker. I'm a back row and I've subbed in a couple of times as a winger and you really do get used to spending most of the match waiting around between brief periods of quite intense work. Playing Flanker involves a high work rate, you should be either hitting just about every other ruck/ball carrying in attack or making the tackles in defence. Just as general advice you'll want to train on your fitness, if you've put on that much weight it's probably a given you'll be a little slower until you get used to running about and carrying that extra weight will probably have a pretty big impact on your match fitness if you don't start training early. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
