[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 114616"] Well, depending on the way you enjoy playing at flanker, and the proximity of other clubs to you, how about an option D- **** off to a nearby rival club and make the coach eat his words! In my 1st year of club rugby, straight out of high school, my coach at UPE informed me that I knew absolutely nothing about playing inside centre. He reckoned that I was too lightweight(even though I weighed 230lbs, and benched 300lbs at the time), and that I needed to put on some more muscle. He also reckoned that I had it wrong in thinking that my primary role at 12 was creating space for my teammates- he reckoned that a 12 should be a basher, a whole basher and nothing but a crash-baller. So I played only 3 games for UPE before fecking off to play for rival club Crusaders. Surprise, surprise, my new coach believed that being a distributor and playmaker was the right way to play at 12. And even bigger surprise- with my new club, we won the Grand Challenge Shield 3 years in a row. My old club, UPE, didn`t. [/QUOTE]
