[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 601887, member: 12699"] Yah we actually had a really good pack back then come to think of it, well at least in the tight-five... Rod Snow, Kevin Tkachuk, Jon Thiel... those guys were some badass props, especially Rod Snow, he was kind of like Marshall in that he was an extremely mobile prop and was a great ball carrier but he was also a top-notch scrummager and great in tight as well. T-Bone was an animal and so was Jon Thiel, those dudes were all big, mean guys. Abrams and Lawson weren't bad hookers either so we were pretty good in the front-row. Our Second-Row was also very good with both Mike James and Jamie Cudmore, Al Charron, etc... I believe Cudmore was playing Flanker for us at the time and Charron and James were in the 2nd Row. We also had Colin Yukes who was quite a handy little flanker and Josh Jackson who was decent at the time as well. Too bad our backs were absolute kaka! The great thing about now is we have so many choices and we have some half decent footballers in key positions. Sinclair and Ardron both need to play in the backrow and I believe they are absolute shoe-ins. It is crazy to think that we could leave a guy like Adam Kleeberger off the field but I remember saying a few months ago that he was going to find it hard to crack the lineup when he came back from injury. Also, we have some good youngsters coming up through the system and even though our ARC was less then stellar I liked how we used it as a development tourney and we got to see some new faces. I thought the boys put it together a lot better against Argentina as well and were unlucky to come away with a result. Oh btw, I think Ardron and Hassler are going to be mainstays in European Rugby for awhile, I have heard that Ospreys have been very impressed with both them. Hassler is not afraid of contact and knows were the tryline is and Ardron is a quality footballer with a high work-rate and gets around the pitch. [/QUOTE]
