[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 820105, member: 53362"] I went through a similar thing a few years ago, came back to playing again after a few years off and tended to play 2nd row/Flanker. The key to everything is fitness, when your young you can go out and get smashed on a Friday, turn up Saturday smoking a fag, nursing a hangover and without a warm up or anything play 80 minutes. When you hit 35ish you have to do things properly, warm up, warm down, take your fitness seriously, don't drink too much the night before etc. If you do that then you will find the skills will come the more you play, you wont learn anything if your hanging out your arse every Saturday and if you get injured because your not weight training then you wont spend as much time on the pitch as you would like and probably get into trouble at work too. As for tackling, tackle the legs don't try and go for the "hit" every time and your shoulders will be fine. [/QUOTE]
