[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 808716, member: 38640"] Ummm, no. I think he got destroyed at an event for the World Champs. Not that there is a huge correlation between throwing events and the success of rugby union tight forwards, but I know Big Bill Cavubati held the Fijian shot put record for a long time (incidentally played for my rugby club in Wellington - and is a bouncer at Hotel Bristol for any Wellingtonians out there...). Don't know of any other tight forwards with amazing success at it. I'm sure you're more likely to succeed at it if your an athletic 120kg prop than your average joe, but again it's a bizarre thread... [/QUOTE]
