[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 867583, member: 58362"] I chuckled when I read about this signing having read the South African suggestion yesterday. By the looks of it, he makes Mouritz Botha in his Bedford days look like Goliath! Saying that, I suspect that this may be lazy journalism - he's listed as 103kg everywhere I've found, so either he has remained the same weight or an out of date weight has been recycled time and time again. Mind you, I wouldn't think that it's far off, he doesn't look a big unit in the photo on Chiefs' Facebook page and appears to be barely taller than Rob Baxter, who I think of as been a decent height but not exactly tall in rugby circles. I logged in to ask if I'm being old fashioned in my confusion at someone this size hoping to play second row in the AP. Add my name to the list of people to whom this seems like a very strange signing! [/QUOTE]
