[@apindersingh1483]

You will be only one my favourite player, personally i like to listen to you most of the times evan I still don't understand the game all I know it's easy for us to standing in touch line and making noise but in the pitch it's will be do or die cuz this is only most dangerous game in the sports, this just my own opinions

Ah lads, why ye arguing over something ye know nothing about. Listen to what Paul O'Connell said 'calorie counters' at a tough training camp. Just do a little research and on average rugby players in season burns easily 5000-6000 calories per day , imagine at a tough training camp where u train 2-3 times a day . Not to mention average male adult calorie burn without any sport 2000-3000(I'm allowing for non active male and active male without sport). Think about it, common sense but again do some research before commenting.

Spot on with your comments

I'm intrigued why PED's aren't factored or discussed in player's fitness. It's NOT all healthy eating or pumping weights that have made rugby players so 'fit'... WHY isn't this subject being brought up?!

[@huamiify]

A huge portion of rugby players are on PEDs for sure. No way could they maintain their size and strength without it. Testing is terrible in Rugby so most will never get caught though.

[@md-ps2hx]

@@huamiify As in all sports, testing is deliberately sh1te. It's not the testers fault, it's the system that protects all the "enhanced" performing 'sports stars'
