[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 719877, member: 53362"] Seriously from a personal point of view in my limitied playing career, I found I was more knackered playing Second row than any back row or centre position (played centre for a whole season) and the thing that really takes it out of you in the second row it is scrummaging, it saps the strength from your legs and I always found I was a yard slower getting round the park than I would be playing 6 or 7. It always amazes me watching players like Joe Launchbury tearing round the pitch like a back row after scrummaging for 60 minutes. Tom Croft too could put on bursts of speed that left backs for dead having only been in the engine room 2 minutes before. People should never underestimate how fit these players need to be how much a player like Joe Launchbury brings to a team. [/QUOTE]
