Yes Blue 90kg is spot on for 10 and currently on form he is our best 10.
There is nothing small about him, as evidenced by just looking at him on telly every week.
He is stacked these days, with big legs.
The lad has transformed his body and game.....most of the clowns passing negative comments are still living in the past.......its a common trait on here......ignorance of the highest order........devoid of staying with the times
As I said get your eyes tested......small frame my arse.......just look at the size of his legs for a start.
Geez Moz you have serious issues with your eyes.
He weighs 90kg, live with it.
Being short makes no difference.....not that 1.76m is short for a 10
No delusion, just look at the screen and ask those around you if they think Jantjies is a tiny chap....my guess is that they will laugh at you.
Those weights given on Supersport are out of date, they have Etzebeth at 117kg, which is what he weighed when he played for the Baby Boks......he now weighs 125kg plus.
They had Senatla at 1.85m, but he is bigger than 83kg
Matfield, for a lock has a small frame, he is thin having built up as much as he can......much like Hattingh of the Bulls.
Matfield is not big
Don't get me wrong Moz, Matfield in his day was the best lock in the game. In his prime he had built up to an almost respectable weight of 113kg and was a real force being the athlete he was.......the issue today is that he is long past it, is now a physical liability who offers nothing unique to line-outs or kick offs..........he is a liability in that he is preventing far more worthy youngsters from partnering Etzebeth only thanks to our out of touch national coach.
If the Boks were short of options at lock then I'd have little issue with old Vic playing......but the fact is there are 10 better locks available and it pisses me off no end that a 38 year old physical liability is held in such high regard by our incompetent coach.....the same player who week after week shows what a shadow of the former player he is.....so much so that the old man is in need of a rest.
Its just bullshit, Matfield should not be anywhere near the Bok or Bulls side. He is a liability to both.
If Matfield starts for us in the WC, we wont make it past the quarters
