[QUOTE="Zed, post: 702686, member: 38503"] Yeah I think Lomu would still be pretty effective. But not as effective as he was when he was playing, because as you said it's simple physics. Back then he was running at guys 40, 50kg lighter than him. Nowadays you rarely get wingers that are under 90kg. There are some exceptions. So in 1995 he'd be facing someone weighing 75kg, 20 years later, he'd be facing someone weighting 100, 110kg. It's not all about weight, but it does make a difference being significantly heavier than your opponent. [/QUOTE]
