Nowadays, props make more carries than in 2015. Back then, it was the locks who were standing as first receivers, next to slow ball rucks. Now, it's more frequently the props who are there. France use Cyril Baille a lot in this position while both Irish props make a lot of carries. -

Is Karl T really 135kg? He doesn't look that much heavier than De Groot there (supposedly 122kg)?
this has shades of Ardie's height all over again
Dunno, his guts are pretty big
tilt the picture 90 degrees, it'll all make sense then
???

eight-foot tall shades?
I've decided Hurricanes forwards look shorter merely because of thehorizontal galewind factor. -

@mn5
And Bull Allen too.Yep but you got to be able to scrum as well as run with ball!
And not convinced you can have a vegetarian prop anyway
I think Genge is part vegan.
I was surprised to hear Nonu (not a prop but built like one) has been vegetarian for years... -

I'm just reporting, not claiming. There is a big vegan rugby league prop but he's the closest I know of in rugby union prop circles.

Alex Fidow is arguably the best ball carrying prop in New Zealand. However, his weakness in terms of scrummaging is a crippling flaw for higher honors. On Tuesday, his switch to the loose head gave interesting results as the Canes scrum was dominant. But it was only Moana Pasifika. I'd like to see him there against harder opposition (Reds, Brumbies). If he can hold his own against THPs like Tupou or Ala'atoa, then he could be considered for the national squad as the All Blacks do need a good ball carrying prop who can also do his core duties well enough.
-
@cgrant Alex Fidow is overrated. His scrummaging is not the best, his work rate around the paddock and at the breakdown is not up to the same standard as Alex Hodgman or Daniel Leniert-Brown. Basing your observation one one game against an exhausted Moana Pasifika who have been playing short turn around games against the Blues and Hurricanes is not a good example.
