Re: Under 85 kg teams playing internationals
What steroids at the players taking? Whatever they can get away with. 100%. What can they get away with? Is it a pre-season thing or do they keep juicing during the season? I have no idea mate. If I had to guess I reckon a lot of them were on gear in off-seasons during amateur years when testing wa...

Re: Under 85 kg teams playing internationals
I am by no means suggesting that shorter guys cannot be tough or fast or hard. Merely that if we are seeking to give "smaller" people a more level playing field then height might be a healthier way to control for size. Maybe. For me, it’s not really about levelling the field for the so-called "smal...

Re: Under 85 kg teams playing internationals
Thank you, yes, other sports have found that they need to give participants the chance to weigh in and then have time/space to take on (mostly) fluid. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, big people will see it as an opportunity to be at the top of the evolutionary heap for 80 minutes. I w...

Re: Under 85 kg teams playing internationals
Yeah, but there's only so much weight you can drop to do that. Let's say you could drop 5 kg to make weight. You'd effectively have a 90 kg weight grade comp, which still accomplishes the general goal of limiting the weights of players. I think his point is that it's just dangerous to play rugby de...

Re: Under 85 kg teams playing internationals
Other sports with weight classes face the following issue: Competitors seek to manage their weight so that they can meet the limit at the appointed time before the competition - whether that is 1 or 2 hours or 18. They then pile the fluids back on and are more their 'natural' size when the whistle ...
