[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 663623, member: 57076"] [B]Geordie[/B]: Harinordoquy was always the more athletic guy. He played a number of sports as a kid, including martial arts. So he was this sort of athletic wiz. Brilliant in the lineout catches, strong tackler, very authoritative and charismatic, good hands, ran well, powerful...he was sort of the complete package athlete and a pure no. 8. But Chabal tackled the fk out of your biggest player, got the crowd going like no one and his team pumped up, and not just because of his beard and off-the-field antics. There was actual substance there, tons of it. He's a guy who could go on a rampage on attack and score a try on his own. And his impact was always felt when he was a sub coming in at the 60th or so. His physical strength really was on par with the mystique ppl made of it. He really was Chabal, the caveman, it wasn't just an act. 1m90, 115kg, powerful but surprisingly mobile, and what a tackling form and timing, what propulsion. Ali Williams knows. I do have one criticism though...he couldn't kick a drop to save his life: [media=youtube]O6R2TJjyC7M[/media] [/QUOTE]
