How many knees were put in after the tackles was made. Right in front of Hollywood Hartley!

5 metre rule too. Would have made it tough for the little guys. In saying that players nowadays are 10 kilos heavier in relation to their respective positions. Second Rowers looked like they were around the 90 kilo mark.

You're right about the second rowers Brooky. Bruce Walker's playing weight in those days was around 95 kilos. Terry Randall was only in the 90-95 kilo range. Ian Martin was probably around 82-89 kilos - around 13 to 14 stone in real measurements.
Yep 80 minute players with day jobs. Needed to be extra fit, and didn't spend days in the gym.
