[QUOTE="chinwaggler, post: 159828"] You say you're heavier and stronger than most in your age group (17), yet you say you are 11.5 stone and 5ft 10! 11.5 stone is 73kg/161lb! Thats small for a rugby playing 17 year old! You must be from a community of hobbits if you're heavier than most :P I'm small for a forward around here and my age group is 18...I'm 6ft, 15 stone/95kg/209lb. That water you boys are drinking musn't be too good! [/b][/quote] lol i guess i'm not too big, i was comparing myself to the non-rugby playing community also. but i have put on 1/2 a stone! :) Anyways, I played in a game last Wednesday, it was our school's seconds side against a load of fat farmers and we lost :( I started as 14, then moved to 15, then to 13, then to 11 throughout the game :S the majority was on the wing(s) though.
