[QUOTE="Peat, post: 407673, member: 42330"] Sounds good until the first time you put them one on one with a quick-stepping centre with room to manouvere. Then they frequently look like prats. See also: coming out of the line too fast, bunching onto man, etc.etc. Defensively, its such a different game out there, and increasingly a specialised one too. When you see a forward in the opposition backline, you target the ******* mercilessly, because they will almost definitley crack. People with the strength and power to play forwards but with the nous, speed and defensive ability of a back end up in the backs. [/QUOTE]
