    4:12 to cover 1200m doesn't seem quick until you factor in having to slow down, turn and accelerate on a pitch giving you no assistance.

    Would be interesting to see what Nick Willis could do one in.

    quick, but again the type of movement would count against the way he would usually train

    it would be interesting to see what type of athlete is most set up for this particular test.

    @mariner4life Yeah - he'd be carrying probably 20kgs less than Beauden, but might not have the same explosiveness as e.g. a 400 metre runner. More endurance though.

    Offhand, Nick would be my pick to set the NZ record - but, you're right about set-up - could be someone surprising.

      not too heavy. Good aerobic fitness, but also agility, and the ability to perform repeated explosive movements.

          Shaun Johnson might be good in the bronco. Maybe some of the NZ Sevens players like Koroi and McGarvey-Black.

                  Handy news

                  Tanielu Tele’a is back training on the grass and closing in on a return from a shoulder injury.
                  

                  Meanwhile i'm sure Beaudie is breathing a sigh of relief that he has the respect of James Parsons.....

                    @KiwiMurph if only they could have talked to blues back Brian Badondo instead.

                          @Duluth who was that just behind Beaudy? Was that Ruru or Nock (I just caught a glimpse)

                          Looks like Ruru. Wow, only 2-3 secs behind Barrett

                              Apparently 6 Blues forwards got PBs in the Bronco test - including Sotutu.

                                        I hope Clarke gets plenty of starts. He was looking fast in 7's despite carrying all that extra bulk

                                          @Duluth I assume he will come into reckoning more in July once Marchant goes back to UK.
