    Parkinson needs to bulk up

    The Mountain from Game of Thrones wasn't always THIS big - and he used to look totally different - The Mirror

    Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is unrecognisable in skinny snaps taken when he was a teenage basketball player

    That’s a story about the Mountain, the picture shows the Hound.

    But back on topic, Vaea Fifita, a great day in the nations capital to try and prove you can be an effective tight forward !

    Tru Dat, BUT the chat was about bulking up a 6' 9" string bean, and, as article pointed out, Mountain went from 230 to 390 pounds!

    Good point. He got a bit strong as well.

    You don't think?

    I'm not a Cantab fan by any stretch but I'm on board with both of them.

    Unless I've missed something too subtle for me ... wouldn't surprise me ...

    I’m not convinced by Grace yet.

    Jordan looks better than Bridge, so on that basis, he’ll get capped.

    Yeah quieter game from Grace, but still got about his work well. Not the form 6 this weekend though.

    Been impressed by Kirifi. So little but certainly doesn't show it on defence.

    The problem for Pari Pari is he's subject to drug testing.

    Doesn't need to bulk up anyway. As long as he appears massive to someone seeing him in real life not playing rugby, the rugby part is irrelevant.

    @Bones Kirifi was the one positive for the Canes in the forwards.

    I must watch again as I was quite unimpressed with him yesterday. Lacked impact and appeared 'lightweight'.

    I have seen him play well in the past where he has caught my eye but seemed quite ineffective this game.

    And his decision making. Counter attack opportunity with overlap on his left - decided to take it into contact.

    They have Blackwell on the bench but no Robinson or Parkinson? Otherwise fairly solid, Blackwell and JGB shouldn't be anywhere near ABs consideration though.

    @mofitzy_ think it's pretty flawed - I'd take Dickson easily ahead of Vaa'i and Blackwell. Faiane is streets ahead at 12 as is Tupaea at 13.

    Tupaea is pretty raw but fair points. Tomkinson and Thompson would be stopgap players at best I would think.

    Yeah I'd say Tomkinson is just as raw. Thompson ran one good line, but the rest of his game wasn't exactly standout.

    Tupaea is the best back in a decent chiefs backline at the moment, dangerous with almost every touch and not shy on defence. Faiane makes excellent decisions and his cover defence has saved the blues a couple of blushes.

    That was clearly written by a Landers fan.

    Hmmm, non-capped players? Better go to the Landers.

    If Vaa'i and Goodhue are the best uncapped locks we have running around... then...

    If we are talking uninjured SRA players then Dickson and Parkinson would be picked before Vaa'i and Goodhue - though Vaa'i looks promising and Goodhue has been playing some of his best rugby - perhaps helped by being in a dominant pack.

    I'll admit it, I just wanted to have some gif practice. But, those 1, 3, 12, and 13 selections indicate that these guys are really reaching. Not selected:

    Alex Hodgman
    Sione Mafileo
    TJ Faiane

    Ah Kuoi is playing better than Vaa'i too.
