[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 696767, member: 55446"] Kvesic has a strong leg drive that will net him an extra meter or two. He's a freakish athlete. I can't remember who was saying it, but apparently whereas most other rugby players would eat fast food occasionally, Kvesic wouldn't touch the stuff, he's that invested in his physical training. For his size, he's powerful as hell. But as a forward that is closer to 16st than 17, I think it's simply for a lack of weight that he isn't really a carrier that will burst through tackles. And unlike Tipuric, he doesn't really have the pace to carry like a back. (Unfortunately. I still wonder if a summer spent sprint training would bring out this side in him. He doesn't necessarily need it in his game, but it would be nice to have.) Still, his build is perfect for fetching and helping out in the tight. He's also good for pick-and-going. I just wouldn't emphasise him as a go-to carrier, like I would Ewers or Morgan. [/QUOTE]
