[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 847609, member: 73144"] Boring post alert (no change there then....) Interesting choice of Murray for the javelin, Toby. Most people automatically go for the big guys in all the throws. As it happens Murray is a virtually identical size to Jan Zelezny the WR holder (20 years and non-one's got near it....) and one of the greatest athletes ever. He generally conceded several inches and kilos to his rivals and was a real triumph of speed, technique and timing over power, a lesson we sometimes overlook in rugby. At school level Itoje did some shot putting to a reasonable, but not stellar, level. [/QUOTE]
