yeah, but the fat lumps in rugby still have to spend 80 minutes constantly running, so I'd say they are certainly more conditioned than the fat lumps in football. A Rugby loose forward has to have more aerobic fitness than a whole NFL Team combined.
Also, I tried to be decent with my comments, and not be a fanboy, some of you American could try to do the same. Hanso
Then again, you don't get Super14 etc, so you wouldn't know.
Oh and as far as tacking Ellis goes, anyone can be tacked in a rugby tackle. Jerry Collins or Schalk Burger would take him easily.
I'd like to see Dale Newstead in here with his opinion.
