[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 856322, member: 70721"] Pinetree would have belted both of them onto their backside as the lineout was forming. He would have been caught on camera and banned for a lengthy period and given up the clean modern game in a hurry. For me, Michael Jones, the Jones Boy, will forever be not just our greatest no.7 but our greatest ever player. I trained alongside him in the Auck University gym in the 1980's when he started his law degree and he was frighteningly strong for a no.7 I didn't know him on a personal level but I knew who he was, he was already famous, our lecture schedule must have been similar. We would nod at each other but rarely spoke. We were there to train. His leg press warm up was to get all the weights possible and load them onto the leg press to warm up, then he would get his mates to sit on the press, on top of the weights. It was staggering and then you saw his leg strength on the ball and it's no surprise he was so incredible for so long. [/QUOTE]
