What is the lowest weight for a professional rugby player?

What is the lowest weight a professional rugby player should have to play at the highest level?

The least amount of muscle mass with which a professional rugby player can play in the rugby's highest level?

I was talking with a friend, and seeing the different weights of professional rugby players smaller we conclude that a professional rugby player stature of 1.65 m (5.4134 ft) to 1.70 m (5.5774 ft) can't weigh less than 80 kg (176.37 lb). For example:

Shane Williams (Wales - former player)


Height 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
Weight 80 kg (176 lb)

Morgan Parra (France - Clermont)


Height 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in)
Weight 77 kg (12 st 2 lb)

Aaron Smith (New Zealand - Highlanders)


Height 1.69 m (5 ft 7 in)
Weight 82 kg (12 st 13 lb)

Gonzalo Camacho (Argentina - Leicester Tigers)


Height 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in)
Weight 85 kg (13 st 5 lb)

What do you think? For a scrum half (which is usually the smallest player in professional rugby) if you have a height less than 1.70 m (5.5774 ft) must necessarily weigh 80 kg (176.37 lb) or more, to withstand the hard knocks of professional rugby. It's my opinion

Fumiaki Tanaka the Japanese scrum halfs who plays for Otago in the ITM cup is is only 5'5 72 kg's. Very good little player though.
