This. I've watched them a few times this year
and I'm a bit surprised how little their physicality is being mentioned as core to their success.
They are f**king *massive*, and they play right on the edge of the laws. Plus they're clearly very fit, and Le Bris always seems to have more massive orcs to bring on when the first set start to get tired.
Appreciate that it's successful (and hard to do well), but I have to say I don't like watching it much.
