[QUOTE="Zed, post: 546433, member: 38503"] I've played with all sorts of shapes and sizes. 5'7 pocket rockets who weigh 70kg dripping wet to big 6'2 Southern African farmer boys. And they all have their own specific attributes. Smaller, fast guys can help get the backline going, moves are done at pace, they have the ability to break the line or make half breaks for support runners, whereas the bigger guys are great in D, have huge boots, can take on a backrower and offload out the tackle without getting smashed. So there is no ideal height and weight. You can get away with not being particularly quick, but to play 10 at a decent level, the one skill you really do need, is to be able to throw fast, accurate passes at pace, while under pressure. A very hard thing to do. [/QUOTE]
