I don’t really get this not strong enough line, I mean the Premiership is virtually a no contact league now. Not fit enough I could understand, but not strength.
I’m old enough to remember watching a skinny Irish lad named Best. Now he played back in the day when defenders could kick you and it was deemed a fair tackle.
Not the strongest player but had bags of talent, so much so that he left most of these cloggers on their arse.
So let’s stop being obsessed with strength and focus on talent. If they have the talent then let them play.

Completely agree, BMD. It's a complete myth in the modern game for 99% of players. There is countless players who have been world class and very slight and weak; it's just an antiquated view from managers the game has left behind.
