The Struggle Continues......

hey RB - have you tried a 3k run on the treadmill? Like the old rugby fitness tests? I might give it a go, just to see what I can do! I remember Hoefty whacking one out as an 18 year old at Valley in about 13:30. I was always stoked to get 15 minutes (not that I did many, had a lot of 'niggles' back in those days). But reckon I could whack out a 13:30 on the treadmill at the moment, maybe...!! Although left calf giving me a bit of niggle at the moment.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, "fatties" they may be but ( you fullas know more than me ) it still takes some fair old fitness to scrum, ruck and maul ( not to mention the flashy extras ) at the top level. -
