[QUOTE="james5000, post: 769671, member: 53353"] In fairness that's at least 8/23 players for a starting point, and you would practically eliminate 90% of players 5 ft 9 and under, apart from halfbacks, not many make it internationally being that short these days. Lionel Messi etc, wouldn't have much of a chance imo. Adding weight isn't that hard but it isn't always beneficial as well, these guys might lose a lot of their athleticism doing that. I think rugby would in most cases attract bigger more physical kids who would have an early advantage. Kids are quite often drawn to sports that they are good at, that's most of the enjoyment.
