will skelton, NZ born lock playing for the waratahs came of the bench for a impressive debut.
standing at 6ft 6 & weighing 135kgs and only 21 years of age, hes got some serious beef, but those numbers of 6ft 6 need to be checked, cos at one stage he was standing next eban whose 6ft 8 & skelton looked taller, he was towering over other memebers of the waratahs too  by a fair bit, and their offical trecorded digits are supposedly taller.

could his weight have added to the illusion of his height??? i would like to see him standing next to some of the other guys side by side.

be that as it may, i was real impressed with him, and im not surprised the waratahs scrum started to get the upperhand the moment he came on, he added some real power to the tahs engine room.

hope to see more of this dude, ive seen some impressive locks last couple of seasons & he looks set to be one of them, prob even the best, -_o

 Itsabutt was a no show again this week. Bekker was head and shoulders ahead of him so all the hype over Itsabutt appears to be completely unfounded!

@moolaa,
bekker was easily the best lock for the stormers, best lock on the field IMO.

lady elizabeth is prob still shaking the cobwebs out of his system, he will come right eventually, that is if hes not suspended or if his body fails hi again like it did for hlaf the season.
some clever egging on by some of the senior players in the game can really turn his temper into an advantage.

but that will skelton, a monster with brains, he could be a real problem for NZ in the future if his game devlelops, thats a big fi though, hes going to have to work hard.
i still dont think hes 6ft6 though, no way, i reckon hes 6ft8 or 6ft9.

 saSUE and moooo  la once the oak loses all that nz lard he will probably be down to 106 kg like wee matfield. Bwahahahhahaha 

Etzebeth has that fire burning brightly but yes one can expect kiwis on the run to use devious tactics.

@beeno1 aka storminged,

oooooohhhhhhhh, come on brother beeno, no need to be hating on the most impressive lock in spXV just cause lady elizabeth isnt shining, u have to remember that lady elizabeth is just returning to rugby after his broken fingernail forced him out of rugby for half the spXV season.
once she gets a few games under her belt, lady elizabeth will back to her usual barnstorming self. :oP

luckily for etzebeth, theres no chance of her facing that monster skelton again, so she can breathe a huge sigh of relief, -_o

what an impressive speicemen this skelton is, will definately keep an eye out on him in the future, everyone would be wise too, cos he poses a locking threat like no other IMO, :oP

He looks a big lump with no muscle definition. By all accounts has always had issues with fitness as he likes the pies. The French have a similar looking South Sea island player in their ranks. My guess is that this big lump has no edge and will always have issues with fitness - time will tell

The skeleton saSUE and Mooo la will have to lose a lot of lard to get around the park for even a short while. The boy was puffing after a few minutes. He needs like snapster says to cut down on the pies and the chocolates and the beers etc.

Now just be thankful we dont show those nice pictures of Etzebeth that had you kiwis in a faint last week. Hahahahahahhaha if I didnt like my present avatar so much I would change it back to the Etzebeth one.

@beeno1 aka storminged,

oh dont be sooo jealous mr storminged, its not a good look. i like it when ezebeth plays NZ, especially if that sowetto test was anything to go by, big statement when some gets benched before the 60th minute like lady ezebeth was.

but enough about lady ezebeth and everyones entitled to an opinon, for me theres something about skelton that sends shivers down my spine, i would rather face two elizabeths for 80mins then one skelton for 20mins, o_-
