maybe thats one to ask Mike Nicholas or John Bevan

John Bevan, Mike Nicholas - definately not, and neither would I ask that question to Frank Reynolds, Bobby Wanbon, Derek Finnegan, Allan Bateman, or for that matter the dozens of other RU players who have changed code and proved to be so succesful.

But the question could undoubtedly be put to Geoff Probyn...In case you don't remember him too well I will remind you; a fat bloke who strolled from scrum to scrum and lineout to lineout, thats Geoff.

That's what props in union do.
He wasn't that fat.
And it's Jeff.

I remember Jeff Probyn well, he was England prop when I started watching RU. His game was based around the set pieces and the ruck and maul, so he was a very union-oriented player. He probably never thought about crossing codes to turn professional in league because it wouldn't have suited his game, but he would have dominated amateur league players because he would have been far too tough and physically strong for them.

No doubt you think you're being a smartbooty by making the suggestion that league is better than union, because he wasn't a player suited to it, but your question is about as relevant as asking Mark Roberts and Mike Gregory if they would been able to win any lineout ball against a university union XV.

Do not mention Mark Roberts and Rugby Union in the same sentence.

Sounds very disrespectful to me.

He was a very staunch opponent of crossing codes in either direction.

your so funny when you do that sarcasm stuff.......

wow you took the words from my ex union props mouth lol

It's true, soft lad. Can't remember the year and i don't even know if Jeff/Geoff Probyn was playing. They beat France 21 to something in the last game at HQ. It was on ESPN classic the other week. Er,....I was watching whilst waiting for something else to come on.

Theres a few unpleasant places you dont want to be on a rugby field in either code, but, I reckon if you could ask every player from both codes the place they'd least want to be, most would say the front row of a union scrum. Jeff lived there, and cut it at international level to boot.

THE HOOF

To have not scored a try, their points total would have to divide exactly by 3 (pens and drop goals). In 91, which you're on about, they scored 83 points in total, ergo they must have scored a try. Similar story in 92 and 95 and 03.

You're wrong. Sorry.
