Hardest hitters in NH rugby?

[Nat]

Oh Matt Tait is the hardest hitter......geez I'm funny. I still remember "Rodzilla" running over him in a England vs Australia Test. For some reason the England selectors think because he makes the occasional run that he's right for their national team. They seem to forget he's utter crap in every other department. So to answering the question I would say Mafi too...Sonny Bill would be but he can't shoulder charge in union

For a time Wilkinson was a hard tackler...although thats how he sustained many of his injuries as well..[/b]

He's back and his tackling too. He was impressive last Saturday versus Castres.

So far it looks like his body is not as fragile as it used to be. Finger crossed.

If he follows like this you know who's going to be England FH for the next two years.

Perhaps it's a good example of the better fitness and facilities Toulon have over Newcastle.

Sale (for example) tend to get a lot more injuries these days now Nick Johnson isn't their conditioning coach.

You may be right. Stade Francais have always suffered of many injured players and they indeed have poor facilities. They should get a new stadium by 2012 with the state of the art in term of fitness facilities but this is delayed by the parties of the opposition in Paris as well as the green party.
