Aussie view??? Empty Aussie view???

Did he really just say that Gatland has picked 37 of the biggest guys he could find???

Is this crazy view an general Aussie view or just a misguided view who knows little of NH players?

Tindall also mentioning that the Force have been split in 2, the team to play lions and the best options on the other side of the park to train to play Tah's!!

sounds like something Phil Kearns would say. Aussie pundits tend to be remarkably ignorant when it comes to NH rugby.

To be fair though Gatts does favour size and power over guile and invention.

Obviously the guy is exaggerating though.

Yeah if that was the completly the case he would have taken Barrett in place of Drico or Robshaw etc. in place of Croft. Also 1/2p isnt particularly big nor is Heaslip for an 8 or Healy for a loose head prop.

Gatland favours quality and effectiveness, the backline is there through being better than other players, not bigger.

And the pack has been selected with mobility in mind, many larger players have been left at home, so he is 100% wrong, it's just a view of the backlines weight stats and jumping to a conclusion

There are some players who havn't had a shot yet, Jenkins, Parling, B Youngs, Warburton, and Kearney are all to feature, and IMO all have an honest shot at test rugby.
