[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 576091, member: 63264"] 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 [B]1.65 m [/B] ([B]5.4134 ft[/B]) to[B] 1.70 m[/B] ([B]5.5774 ft[/B]) can't weigh less than [B]80 kg[/B] ([B]176.37 lb[/B]). For example: [B]Shane Williams[/B] (Wales - former player) Height [B]1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)[/B] Weight [B]80 kg (176 lb)[/B] [IMG]http://sia1.subirimagenes.net/img/2013/06/13/130613030310360019.jpg[/IMG] [B]Morgan Parra[/B] (France - Clermont) Height [B]1.80 m (5 ft 11 in)[/B] Weight [B]77 kg (12 st 2 lb)[/B] [IMG]http://sia1.subirimagenes.net/img/2013/06/13/130613030319980158.jpg[/IMG] [B]Aaron Smith[/B] (New Zealand - Highlanders) Height [B]1.69 m (5 ft 7 in)[/B] Weight [B]82 kg (12 st 13 lb)[/B] [IMG]http://sia1.subirimagenes.net/img/2013/06/13/130613030317179752.jpg[/IMG] [B]Gonzalo Camacho[/B] (Argentina - Leicester Tigers) Height [B]1.73 m (5 ft 8 in)[/B] Weight [B]85 kg (13 st 5 lb)[/B] [IMG]http://sia1.subirimagenes.net/img/2013/06/13/130613030326190395.jpg[/IMG] What do you think? For a scrum half (which is usually the smallest player in professional rugby) if you have a height less than [B]1.70 m[/B] ([B]5.5774 ft[/B]) must necessarily weigh 80 kg ([B]176.37 lb[/B]) or more, to withstand the hard knocks of professional rugby.
