Nah it’s not ridiculous.. what’s ridiculous is having a 200kg bench and being able to do the splits 😵 what a freak

[@arnarmagnusson8201]

I think you got heights mixed up. 180cm is is about 5,11ft not 5,9. As 6ft is 183cm. Also taniela is 175cm that makes him 5,9 not 5,7. On cm to ft calculators they will show you 175cm is 5.74 feet but that scale only goes up to 10 when feet goes up to 12. so as it’s 5.74 we have to calculate 74% of 12 which is 8.88 which rounded up is 9. So he is 5,9 not 5,7. Same thing with 180cm on calculators it comes up as 180cm is 5.9feet. But as it’s a scale only to 10 we have to go what’s 90% of 12 which is 10.8 which rounded up is 11. So he is 5ft11in

Hey man ! Thanks a lot to have taken the time to write this comment! I really appreciate it ! You are totally right, the converter I used was wrong and as I usually only deal with cm, I did not realise that I was wrong !

[@purplepotato3592]

He's got crazy pace and a cracking step for a fella that big tho, he's a special unit - you don't get many guys at 135kg with a half decent 100m! He's been great for AUS - vs NZ he flattened a couple All Blacks in one of the clips. He's got a but of a short fuse though, if he can control that he'll be one of the biggest ball carrying threats in World Rugby

Andrew Sheridan was around 270lbs but had a bench press best of 225kg and was heading upwards. However he was told to stop lifting seriously in order to develop as a rugby player. Bob Dwyer rated him the strongest player he had ever known. The Aussie possibly agreed!😁🤣

[@sonnyblack6121]

The big Fair skinned Maori Prop Carl Hayman destroyed the Lions Front row who had been talking up there strongman prop Sheridan...... Like The late great Colin Meads said about English forwards "too much sweatbands and not enough sweat!" 😂😂😂

[@richarddiver1562]

@@sonnyblack6121 Meads was a great rugby player and hard man and, back in his day, England certainly had a soft centre...just ask any Welshman of vintage! However, I wonder whether he still thought that when 6 Englishmen repelled 8 All Blacks in a defensive scrum in Englands 2002 victory in New Zealand or in the 2019 WC Semi when the English pack completely overwhelmed the AB 's? Truth is, England and NZ are never weak up front and the former have often been accused of being boring in winning through forward dominance alone. As for Sheriden and Hayman? Neither ever destroyed the other. Hayman described facing Sheridan as 'interesting' which in prop speak is a huge compliment and the respect was certainly reciprocated. The great thing was watching them prop the Toulon side to Euro greatness a few years back. Possibly the most formiidable loose/tight combination ever to step on to a rugby pitch..
