      Man some of the forward's weights are all over the place here.

      Frizell listed as 188cm when he's 195cm according to all other sources, and Papali'i listed as only 104kg/191cm when he's 113kg/193cm on the Blues page, lol.

        @kiwi_expat Dalton definitely doesn't look 113kg and 1.93m. If you compare him to someone similar to that like Brad Shields who's actually 2kg lighter at 111kg and 1.93m then those metrics for Dalton are definitely off. It's also suggesting he's the same height as Akira Ioane which going from quite a few pictures online he's doesn't seem to be.

        104kg and 191cm is far more accurate IMO.

          Stats on the AB site look about right. Although they have Shannon too light

            @Canes4life Haha, there's no way Dalton is 104kg. Tom Christie is 105kg and he looks miniscule compared to the Blues & Chiefs loosies. Dalton also has the jacked Polynesian genetics, look at his upper body, size of his torso & shoulders, he's definitely carrying a lot up top.

              @kiwi_expat yeah he's definitely bigger than Christie, but then again Christie doesn't look 105kg either.

              If I had to guess looking at Dalton he'd be around 110kg, 1.91m.

                              Massive blow for the Boks and for the tournament. He’s the best hooker around for me. Wish him a speedy recovery.

                                  Yeah it's between those two. Marx's breakdown work probably gives him the edge.

                                    Savage player but his influence on games has been dimmed a smidgen since refs started to police hands on the floor beyond the ball before the jackal properly. He was the master of it. Jackling fresh air or torso half the time.

                                          Massive blow for the Boks and for the tournament. He’s the best hooker around for me. Wish him a speedy recovery.

                                          The Irish hooker is damn good. But yeah among the best.

                                          Yeah it's between those two. Marx's breakdown work probably gives him the edge.

                                          Which one - Herring, Kelleher or Sheehan?

                                          @Derm-McCrum Sheehan. Far and away Ireland’s No 1. Other two are pretty good mind, but not in same class.
