Dont worry about size, they've got to catch him first!! Double Lance Todd winner Gerry Helme wasn't very big but he had 'minder' on the 54 tour in Charlie Pawsey! Murph had Vinnie Karalius in 58 too, Roger Millward had Malcolm Reily, Bishop had Cliff Watson , Steve Nash had many minders including Jim Mills !! come to think of it Andy Gregory had a number of minders also!! Its down to our 'hard men' to protect him on the field

SBW or Inglis would run all over burrows out wide, impact 9 possibly kept amongst the big boys and not exposed

Your spot on, Thurston does lack pace and that's why I want Sam Tomkins to run at him/round him! once past Thurston Sam would arrive at their fullback to find Robbie Burrow on his shoulder to take a Try scoring pass!!
I can still see 'little' Roger Millward running for the try line on the Sydney Cricket Ground to win the Ashes!
The most valuable commodities tend to come in 'small' quantities!!

Have you seen an Elephant's face when it see's a mouse?

Alfie Langer did ok

A good scrum doesn't have to be big or fast. He just has to be clever and able to think on his feet - the rest then takes care of itself

In my opinion, this game will be like nothing most of the England SL players will have ever experienced. It will be brutal. I don't know how you could stop the NZ attack from running at Rob in our own half the speed they pass the ball and move round the field. Robbie has taken off a good few times this season injured after throwing himself at the big lads and did he not get taken off in the World Club Challenge concust. Anyway it was on the news that Rangi's missus is about to have their second child so that could be a very good reason to drop him. I can't wait for tomorrow and relly hope we stuff them.
