But yeah, even good old 7.62 chews through brick.
Had a incident in our street in Lower Hutt when I was growing up involving a bloke with mental issues, a bottle of whisky and a 303 rifle.
He started firing into the interior walls of his brick house and by the time the Armed Offenders Squad had sorted the situation out, they found a couple of rounds in the woodwork of a neighbouring house. Scary really.

O for Olsen
God bless him. Any man that can go the full 12 with one of the very best heavyweights of all time is all right with me.
Whatever Tua is doing with his life you hope he’s happy.

So my dad had a 303.

I think this is an awesome initiative.

@taniwharugby Is that out at Portland?

@no-quarter that pass from Kronfeld to Lomu against Ireland was a thing of beauty.
I'll die in a ditch, but the balance was what set Lomu apart. Big fast guys exist, but his abiliyt to stay on his feet was just remarkable
-
rugby was a different sport in the 90s. Look at the fucking space! We're constantly looking at Lomu with 15m to operate. Modern wingers very very rarely get 15m to play with. Defensive sides are so good at holding their width on defense, even from broken play.
-
@no-quarter A couple of those were quite funny. Merhts just stands there thinking "Where's Jonah? Ah there he is - off you go".

Any reason the last 54 seconds of that were blank?
-
@booboo I just absolutely shake my head at how we managed to lose that match with Lomu wreaking so much havoc. What the hell were the rest of the team doing? His performance alone should have been enough for a 20 point victory.

Without a doubt, those were the glory years for backlines where players were (semi) professional but the game still allowed plenty of space to throw the ball around.
That said, Lomu would still be an absolute weapon in todays game if he was fully fit. His acceleration, balance and sheer size makes him damn near impossible to stop first go, the amount of space he would create for others just by being on the field would be gold in todays game.

@no-quarter not to mention he'd benefit as much as everyone else from modern training and nutrition. Once I clicked it I just had to watch the whole thing. Power, balance, and speed. Every fullbacks nightmare!
