    @Chris looool buuuuullshit

    Either that or every other stat is vastly understated

    I think @Stargazer is right, if EB doesn't immediately kill it, the retribution to the knob-gobbling he's received is going to be severe

    Yeah 118kg at just under 6 3 is either muscle bound as fuck or fat as fuck. EB is neither.

    it seems Blackadder has added some bulk, Jason Ryan quotes Blackadder below as 118 KG now.

    Blackadder below is 118 kegs, when you add that to Blackadder above, that's some weight!

    Foster 'surprised' by 3 weeks down to 2 decision. Shows what a fucking numpty he is, considering every man and his dog had that as the outcome days ago.

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby-world-cup-2023/300973267/rugby-world-cup-2023-ian-foster-fires-up-over-losing-ethan-de-groot-for-2-games

    Yeah, coz he really meant that and it wasn't at all just a dig at the inconsistencies...

    I will be so happy next year that FDS will be no longer.

    He is NOT a good coach or selector, but by fuck it gets tiresome.

    Just stole this from t’interweb…..

    Seems apt here.

    “Billed weight is the weight that WWE wants you to believe is that superstar's real weight. It's generally higher than their actual weight to make them seem bigger. Or in some cases, the billed weight is less than the superstar's weight to make them seem smaller. To make themselves appear “Larger than life".

    Well the All Black Foster BS circus is fucking close to WWE BS, so you may be right.

    I find it genuinely difficult to guess the real weight of players I've only seen on TV or from a distance.

    Only last week I was playing footy with an ex u20 Kiwi rep and he was >130kg. Admittedly he's a big unit but I'd have guessed 120 tops.

    Perhaps that just means I can't judge weight.

    Add 10kg for the bottoms.

    As to Ethan, he does have very square shoulders and a secret neck.
    I could well imagine he's over 110 but if 118 I just hope he is matchfit and fast. Because that is some natural engine he has.

    It would be excellent if he can play with the impact of 118 with his engine. I've said before that he would benefit from more weight because his workrate is beyond question.

    Interesting take by Mehrts on how AB attack could improve after several phases. Reminds me of how Ireland seem to do things.

    He looked like he'd been on the creatine diet when he came back for the Mako - face looking very chubby.

    But, I'd be pretty surprised if he's managed to get to 118kgs - 4-5kgs short of that, I think.

    I reckon Frizell is probably around 118kgs - those crazy RWC profiles have him at 114kgs, which is more accurate than anything else floating around the internet.
