    I would say the ABs have access to his 10m/40m stats from 2015 and 2019 (and those he would be competing with) to know how much he has lost and as such, know if he is a viable option in the mid-field still at the top level.

        @Kirwan rugby isnt big on releasing that kind of info for some reason.

          @taniwharugby Some of those really don't look world class at all. If an outside back is only expected to be marginally quicker than five seconds over 40m, small wonder it's a revelation when one of them has actual pace.

            @antipodean it ties in with some stuff I found on a UK Rugby site a few months ago...but I think the term 'world class' is not test level players (despite the name inferring it should be)

            My work colleagues 16yr old son did the bronco in 4.12 earlier this year (was an officially timed one too) at a rugby testing....one of the 13 yr old boys in my sons team (a loosie) would be 'world class'

            Either that, or maybe this is why rugby doesnt report figures and stats as they dont measure up...?

              @taniwharugby Having seen some of the Gallagher Premiership, none of that sheet surprises me.

              The quality of play is average with moments of brilliance, and aerobic fitness isn't high on the list of obvious traits.

                @taniwharugby so openside and midfielders need to have the same fitness levels - the Ardie to 12 is not so outrageous afterall

                  On Akira - I didn't see it as 'niggle' I saw it as character. Good to see some passion for the Blues jersey.

                    @taniwharugby andy Ellis has the crusaders record or Bryn hall I think at 420ish.
                    100kilo men will not run fast Broncos. Those stats are fairly realistic. I think people forget that rugby players are jack of all trade athletes.
                    They will never pump the numbers of nfl for power or soccer for running distances.

                    I think this is also a reason many wingers fade earlyish as rugby specific training can de train there speed

                      @muddyriver yeah I recall the article in pre-season for Super, Read has never gone under 5mins for the bronco.

                      These things are just one of many measures used, kinda like how BMI is a meausre used to determine your correct weight :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

                        I'm just gutted we'll never see a Dagg - Ardie combo at 10 and 12. Would have been impossible to contain.
