Well Lawrence Dallagallio might be fitter than he was 5 years ago but he's not as quick, do you remember that try he scored against the French in Paris in about 96?he just burned a whole load of their backs away, you don't see him do that any more.
That's why I like Moody, he's pretty big but he's bloody quick as well.
The thing that's hit me this year is what a centre pairing the Lions would have had 2 years ago if Greendwood had been fit, could you imagine him & O'Driscoll together, Greendwood would just be putting him in space all game, unloading from the tackle especially & O'Driscoll would do the rest.
If Greenwood had pace he'd be our O'Driscoll, but as I said recently on another thread if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.
