Ruan Pienaar - GPS tracking

[Alfie]

Hi - has anyone heard that RP is wearing a GPS tracking device each time he plays for Ulster...BUT here is where it gets interesting.....its part of the deal with SA Rugby authorities (and there is a fee paid by them to Ruan Piennar aparently)...and its the South Africians that get the data sent to them in order to monitor the speed and conditioning of the Northern hempisphere game......the latest info I heard is that the Magners League games are c15-17% slower/less pitch coverage than Super 14 games......anyone got any more info on this??

I heard that Ferris has got special shoulder pads that measure the amount of impact he takes per game. So far he's been burning them out in the first 20-30 mins - so the the developers are doing further work...
