      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.

      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.

      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.

                @Chris Maybe his scales aren't properly set! 🙂

                Wouldn't be too hard to do a weigh-in once a year on the 1st of April. We used to do that when we were in primary school.

                        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?

                                This ridiculous argument is really hard to follow. Thanks in advance.

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

                                      I believe that’s a Gif, not a meme.

                                      It still is a picture of @mariner4life having a tantrum wether it is a gift or a meme.

                                        to be fair, it's gif, based off a meme, based off a video

                                        it's also really heavy
