<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>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.<strong> I'm 6 ft 2 bordering on 6 ft 3 and he is<strong> </strong>probably taller than me by a small stretch minus his hairdo.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even the All Blacks have him at 1.90m so I think I believe them over you. :yes:</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>

No it wouldn't. Exactly why there's so much debate. <br><br>
Don't see anyone questioning Cane's or Todd's height... -

<p>I went to school with the Dad( Skelton) in Auckland , the old man played league through high school years , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He wasnt tall ,average height, but built like brick a brick shit house , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe the height of the boys come from the mothers side , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last time i ran into the Dad he was bouncing up at the Cross ( some years ago) </p> -

<p>Pretty sure all of Jonahs family were of normal height, his brother was a solidly built front rower from what I recall and I think played professionally in the UK.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd imagine a shitload of food would get put away at Skelton family get togethers.</p>
