[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 325998, member: 64443"] In terms of the genetics, there are a few interesting things. I think that the genetics (when I say this I include past down activities and habits) plays more of a role in developing a larger pool of bigger players, and those with the better talents get selected, as opposed to the biggest players (as in England) being selected. I don't know if this applies in other countries, but in SA you see a lot of the top players have fathers or grandfathers who were Springboks, I don't know if this had an inspirational affect, or a coaching advantage, but it seems that greater the heritage, the better the player (the Hoggs in Scotland spring to my mind) [/QUOTE]
