[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 642728, member: 63264"] I saw rugby in the 90s, ok? What I mean is this: Lomu started his career in 1994, rugby turned professional since 1996. He made most of his career in the early professionalism, ok? In the BEGINNING of professionalism. Is not the same a young professional rugby than a mature rugby as today. Rugby has grown a lot in the last 20 years, we have more professional players, more professional teams, better physical trainers, training has greatly improved. In the begining of professional rugby players were smaller. Now with almost 20 years of professionalism, rugby has grown. Training is much more advanced and have better athletes, stronger. Now we have many big backs such as: Manu Tuilagi, Alesana Tuilagi, Jamie Roberts, Nemani Nadolo, Luther Burrell, Sonny Bill Williams, Ma'a Nonu, George Moala, Mathieu Bastareaud, Alipaté Fatafehi and others. I think the power of Lomu would not be the same today than 15 years ago, at the beginning of the professional era, ok? Tana Umaga > Jonah Lomu Brilliant! Lomu was a strong and fast player but he was not very complete, he had many flaws that any rugby coach could exploit today. Now players are stronger and better athletes. Undoubtedly Lomu playing today, nor would the nuclear bomb that was in the 90s and early twenty-first century. [/QUOTE]
