[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 164496"] I can lend to this debate, I remember watching Viadana against Worcester in 2006/7 over the European Challenge Cup. While Worcester did make heavy weather of their win in the end, it was pretty obvious that Viadana's main weakness was in their forwards. Worcester's pack was pretty pedestrian last season by a long shot but even they managed to grind down and dominate Viadana's pack easily enough. One of Viadana's main stregnths will always be their backs and if you give them space they will run riot. Essentially, Viadana are the European Club Rugby version of Japan: extremely weak in the forwards but incredibly talented in the backs. [/QUOTE]
