[QUOTE="Peat, post: 542238, member: 42330"] Ah, not quite that bad... 13 stone 3 according to his Cornerfleg page, 12 stone 10 according to Ulster Rugby. Still makes him about the lightest guy to play 12 - internationally no less - in the modern era. Giteau's the only guy who comes close I can think of and even he's a couple of pounds heavier. And he goes around smashing Samoans (25 minutes 15 seconds in on match video) and dumping Tom Croft into touch. He's suffered more blood loss from the head than most packs put together and posts photos of his thumb being operated on twitter. As far as I'm concerned, he's possibly the most nails man in rugby. Incredible to think what he'd have been like if he was 2 stone heavier - although thats a fair good description of Luke Marshall! edit: a - Well right now I'm not sure we have the choice as Stevenson's injured as well and our other choices in the second row come down to Neil McComb (hmm) or Robbie Diack (uhmm...) Personally I'd shunt Henderson forwards but bring on Diack instead of Williams; Williams hasn't been that effective and is a better impact player, while Diack brings an excellent tail option and has been very good this season. But who knows, don't know when the Stevenson Rocket is back anyway - I'd like to see what he looks like in a big game, he was excellent at the start and is incredibly physical.
