    <p>We'll agree to disagree then, but I suspect if you need a big bastard to explode up a flight of four steps, and do it a hundred times with a short rest in between, then they'll smash the 'running fit' people.</p>

    <p>I'm not a huge football fan but I thought those guys had big long rests in between. They can lift weights that would embarrass Owen Franks but in terms of repeated efforts that's where they fall over hence the need for oxygen on the sideline as the offensive and defensive teams switch over.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It's a pretty pointless argument in one sense though cos whilst Hamish Carter and Nick Willis ( haha ) might be incredibly "fit" they'd get fucken smashed the moment they went into, or made, a tackle in any contact sport code.</p>

    <p>From what I've seen and read ( not much admittedly ) it sounds like Will Skelton could do with dropping 15-20kg to be a better, more effective player. It obviously runs in the family ( although looks like no one "runs" in that family #subliminaldadjoke ) NTA will explain it better as someone who watches him much more closely but he seems a real "highlights" reel player, Bill Cavubati was pretty handy at that too and he is hardly revered as even half decent at NPC level let alone International.</p>

    <p>Nah, there was another photo of him doing the rounds a year or two back, next to Waratahs play Tala Grey (I think). Grey is 6'4" and Logan towered over him.</p>

    <p>Maybe you should stop watching rugby on your 30 inch T.V and them maybe you may come to realize that Ardie is actually 6 ft 2. I met the guy in person the other day when he was taking photos with fans outside Adidas in Wellington city. I'm 6 ft 2 bordering on 6 ft 3 and he is probably taller than me by a small stretch minus his hairdo.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Even the All Blacks have him at 1.90m so I think I believe them over you.  :yes:</p>

    <p>i think we need to re look at the average height. Because anecdotally, every mother fucker in NZ is 6'2, so how can the average height be 4 inches shorter?</p>

    <p>Even a "small stretch" is significant, so basically he's 6 foot 4 now ? someone contact Guiness Book of Records, at this rate Ardie will be taking Robert Wadlows mantle by this time next year.</p>

    <p>I don't understand how some people are measured when I see them in real life and then what's on their stats. At the Melbourne Test I got a photo with Benn Robinson while we were drinking in the pub and he's reportedly 6'1", which would make me now the tallest I've ever been in my life considering I look taller than him in the photo.</p>
