try watching games from the 70's and 80's on u tube too valley boy to see there,s no comparison to modern football . we've always had discussions on this board about the greatest players but you can't compare from different eras

the same in every sport but I think rugby is a sport where it really hits home the power and pace thats required these days at the top level . a run of the mill club rugby side would smash the great wales sides from the early 70' s etc

i think the modern athlete has reached his/her peak now in terms of power and pace . .Where is top level sport going in the future say in 5 or 10 years time ?
