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. -

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.

Rugby players weights are very arbitrary. Historically the one that made me laugh the most was when Joeli Vidiri was apparently only 90kg, he stayed that weight for years despite being basically a slightly shorter version of Jonah.
I suppose it might be a bit time consuming to weigh 46 players before each match though.
In combat sports it’s only two.

@MN5 Point is Jason Ryan tells the media Blackadder is 118 kg now.
If people are calling that incorrect he isn't 118 kg Ryan told lies to the media,So I am asking as people are calling it BS does that make Ryan a liar as he did not tell the truth did he.

It is not about that I am asking a fair question and you resort to childish memes like a 2 year old lol.
True to form

maybe he meant 108kg? Either way it doesnt matter, he doesnt gain anything by saying he is 118kg if he isnt?
So when's the team named?
