I watched the first half but left after that.

From what I saw, it was typical Karl Pryce. Too big and good for that level of rugby, as he always was in our academy. We couldn't handle him at all when he was attacking, but he was twice as big as anyone on the field. Crossley was our biggest player and Pryce was easily bigger than him.

From what I saw of Rudd, he looked to have some potential, but clearly didn't have the positional sense. He did make one particularly good chase back though to save a try. Seemed to have some decent pace for quite a big bloke.

Isn't Rudd bigger than Crossley?

Crossley looked the biggest, although I may have been discussing it and therefore looking while Rudd was off the field to be fair.

Crossley looked a big lump when the boys were warming up at the top. The others were taking the pee out of him because people knew who he was
