Glad to see the back of Sexton and Biggar. The way they always tried to bully and influence the referees was disgraceful.
It is more like the population of Birmingham. Newcastle 286,000, Birmingham 1 Million, Fiji 900,000. Still impressive though as I doubt Birmingham could put together a team to compete at this level.
Again, to play the same tune I often have on here, genetics play a part. To move the muscle weight at the speed, with the power and for the time that they do, 'most' (not all) of Birmingham couldn't train this... Norwich probably could though.
