final training squad.
Props: v/Wyk 116kg, Maarman 116kg, Fouche 118kg, Dell 115kg, Kitshoff 120kg
Locks: Jacques du Plessis 2.01m and 116kg, Willemse 2m and 135kg, Oosthuizen 1.98m and 122kg, Steph-du Toit 2m 115kg
r those real stats?
My fok!
They are pound for pound heavier than the bokke.
Hope they can match that miscle with skill!
They'll need to shed some of that bulk as they reach senior level of play. The modern game requires lighter more mobile and explosive forwards. Had this been 2007 or earlier that would be less significant.
Nonsense, they are perfect weights for props, in fact 120kg is perfect for prop and lock so these lads are about par so perfect
Damn that is big for baby boks. That Willemse Lock - 135 kg? Is he the guy that made his Debut for the Lions this weekend? Had a good game i think, a little rough around the edges needs work and lacks pace, however, he is a giant tackled Ashley johnson back a few times. Seems he likes the Physical stuff. He might be bigger than Etzebeth, but he lacks that ferocity of Etzebeth. Kolisi, Etzebeth , Malherbe, Coetzee one year too old?
Yes that is the same Willemse and he had a promising start, but looks like he injured himself which is a pity. The Oosthuizen that came on as a replacement flanker is the kid above as well, all 122kg's of him.
Yes the names you mentioned are a year too old
Anyone have a final list on the Squad? Have the Cheetahs agreed to release Goosen for this? Or will we have to be Happy with Tony Jantjies?
Final squad is not out yet, not sure when it will be
Ok so Willemse's actual weight is 118kgs.
Not sure where you got your facts from.
I just asked him. :)
Take it that was a twitter request?
Here goes on him weighing 135kg

Hey Saf
Na. Through a friend of a cousin :)
Yeah the sarugby.co.za often gives shit results. Ill never forget it had James Small weighing in at 115kgs.
They just keep getting bigger and bigger. Some folk find it difficult to adjust to all this. Trouble is as players get bigger and faster the field stays the same size.
