[QUOTE="danny, post: 193021"] The biggest thing I notice about the players today is the fitness levels and players physiques. Most of the mistakes you see from games in the olden days were through guys being out on their feet. Professionalism has made rugby an almost different game to the one played back then. Props scrummaged, 2nd rows won the ball back in the line out(by fair or unfair means) but did little else. Rule changes , diet, professionalism, improved coaching have all helped to change our great sport and lets not forget that the league system didnt start until 1986 and that made a big impact.
