[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 431571, member: 53362"] Never a truer word spoken! I know how you feel mate Im 6' and have a very light frame but have managed to play flanker/2nd row for many years and am now playing vets (think bigger slower lumps) I work hard on my lineout always putting my hand up to jump anywhere in the line and nearly always get higher than the lump jumping next to me and I always make sure im fit and can get to the breakdown first. One thing you should remember is that although you may think you are a lanky bean pole with tin ribs but I bet your opposite number doesnt have such a low opinion of you unless he is a ultra confident ex international....which he wont be, he is likely to be a slighty over weight bloke who worries he isnt fit enough and isnt looking forward to trying to keep up with his athletic looking opposite number.....
