There's a saying along the lines of, "There's a fine line between inspiration and madness"!
Which does this idea from past great, Tony Daly, come under?

Phil Waugh-
Height: 1.75m
Weight: 100kg
Born: 22.09.79, Sydney, NSW

Off his trolley.
Just happy to be here
Flankers have been making the move for years at Club level and I have no issue with his strength, durabilty and potential weight however, at only 1.75m, surely he is too short for the modern International game?
Imagine for a second having a Loosehead with nearly the same mobility as he has now though!!!
I think the concept is sound but he may have the wrong body in the long run.

In the current game, size does matter...
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
The concept is interesting. Isn't Phil Vickery a former flanker? I've seen him run with the ball and he seems pretty speedy for a big fella.
Would he still have the speed and mobility with an extra 10kg to carry?
Is it worth the risk??
Personally I wouldn't think so. If Waugh was an 18 or 19 year old coming through the ranks then I would say yes.
But seeing as he is one of the best opensides in the world, I can't see how it can be worth letting him go for questionable short-term gain. They should be concentrating on the up-and-comers, especially the under-19s who just won the world cup.
