Re: 6-2 split

Remember the old days when you only had 2 reserves who usually consisted of a hooker and halfback, and all players were expected to play 80 minutes? Nobody got concussion then either, you just drunk wet cement and hardened up. I remember them, but all to often those who played in those games can not.

This is what it is to be no1. Play poorly away from home while the oppo have a good game, and you still grind it out.

It will not be recognised as the official marathon world record because it was not in open competition and he used a team of rotating pacemakers.
He did however run it under two hours. The other bloke hasn't I see.
