[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 614581, member: 70721"] Dane Coles seems very small compared to Bismarck Du Plessis. I genuinely worry for him. The poor bloke looks like a school boy in short pants. I'm sure the kid is talented etc but i do worry about his physicality. We do not have anyone like the mighty Fitzy. Hore has moved on. Mealaamu has been a faithful servant and he always crosses the gain line with his low centre of gravity, thats partly why i have always referred to him as the 'Subterranean Warthog', for his effective burrowing to pinch a metre around rucks. But Kevin is getting long in the tooth (maybe not a bad thing for a warthog but never great for an All black). The candidates for future hookers are few and far between. Do we need to look at co-opting a prop into a hooking role? Until a clear successor rears his head, or Dan Coles grow 4 inches and gains 25 kilos. [/QUOTE]
