A bit of a bubble
...care of Bristol university.
I came across this article in my search for postgraduate university options, and as a fullback found it utterly offensive!

Re: A bit of a bubble
Or how about the Jack Nicholson view (to be read in the style of his court speech in A Few Good Men):
"Son, in this world there are scrums, and in those scrums you need PROPS. Are you willing to do it? As a prop, I have greater responsibility than you can ever fathom. You use words like drunk and out of shape. Those words are the very back bone of a life I have spent drinking and partying in, and you use them as a punch line.
You weep for your wings and centers and curse the prop forward. You have that luxury, you have the luxury of knowing that the front row, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, wins these games you play. Truth? You can't handle the truth, cause deep down in places you don't talk about in your selection meetings, you want me in that scrum, you need me in that scrum.
I have neither the time, nor the inclination to explain myself to a back that scores under the very blanket of ball retention that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just bought me a beer and went on your way, otherwise, I suggest you crawl into a scrum and get dirty, either way, I don't give a damn who you think is responsible."

Re: A bit of a bubble
It's a fitting description of our sport and how a team player ranks within a matchday squad in it's correct thinking of the value of positions. ( PROPS RULE! )
The maul is back! JUSTICE !
Re: A bit of a bubble

Re: A bit of a bubble
Well us props do recognise the value of backs - they're a reliable food source if nothing else.

For every intellectual ex-prop on here, there are hundreds more out there driving tractors and rolling them into ditches.
Kicks and scrums and ruck and roll.....Is all my brain and body need!

Kinny - Maybe you want to have a word with Jules about that since he's now a farmer boy?
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
