[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 658587, member: 67273"] My point on Tekori is that saying he's 122kg~ is wildly inaccurate - if Tekori is who you have in mind for a tall guy who weighs that much then its not surprising that you don't think Kitchener weighs that much. Judging the supposed figures on my own experience of knowing people who weight that much IRL and other guys in professional rugby, I don't find it very difficult to believe that Kitchener weighs something approaching 19st... 6'6" is [I]massive[/I]. Samu Manoa is 6'4". Joe Launchbury and Matt Garvey are two guys who you could compare him to - both are 6'6". Joe isn't very muscular and is a bit fat, weighing 115kg Garvey is quite muscular and a bit fat, weighing 127kg. Kitchener is reasonably muscular and quite lean - does he have 5kg over Launchbury?... quite comfortably IMO. Kitchener[I] is[/I] a pretty good ball carrier - but since when does athleticism correlate perfectly with rugby aptitude? It doesn't matter how big and quick he is if he doesn't know how to turn that into a dominant carry. [/QUOTE]
