Put together a front row with a combined weight of more than 350kg, as in last night's Manawatu representative trial, and you have the basis of a tsunami-strength pack.
That's how it panned out with the superior forwards taking the Probables to a 29-19 win over the Possibles at the Arena Manawatu back grounds.
With two huge props in Sam Moore and Talau Hala and Rob Foreman, of Puketoi farming stock, ensconced between them, there was plenty of horsepower to pummel away at the lighter Possibles eight.
And when Probables locks Hayden Triggs, Alex Waite and Daniel Alofa, all hotshots for the Manawatu NPC side, were taken off at halftime, the Possibles crawled back into the game after trailing 22-0. But the Possibles lineout had been misfiring.
If there was a standout with his head continually down barging forward it was Alofa playing on the blindside flank. Last year's standout King Country forward goes about his business in commanding fashion.
