[QUOTE="Peat, post: 658465, member: 42330"] Permit me to presenting the dissenting opinion. Kitchener is listed as 6'6". He's about two to three inches short on guys like Retallick and Etzebeth. Allegedly, he is roughly the same weight as Retallick. I feel that one look at each man severely strains the idea that Kitchener is the same weight despite missing out on two and a half inches. If you look at the sort of guys who are around Kitchener's weight, and share the same sort of athletic capability in the air, there's not too many of them over 18 stone, nevermind 19. Stooke is also listed as 6'6". Woodman reckons he weighs at the same as Etzebeth despite being three inches shorter. Again, my mind baffles. If we google Joe Tekori, he is allegedly of the same dimensions as Graham Kitchener. Uhm, no. I am struggling to think of a 19' 10 6'6" lock for comparison with Stooke, largely because such things are close to non-existent in the pro game. If these things are true, you have to wonder/worry about a) fat levels b) aerobic ability c) legality of weight gains. I feel reasonably happy in saying they're probably not though. [/QUOTE]
