    So he is not a liar he is an idiot then or a prankster ?

    he's an ex-forward isn't he? Numbers beyond 8 aren't his specialty.

    Ryan is probably 118kg

    yes but the 1.9 m would be in the x dimension.

    To get this at least back to rugby chat

    I think it's a pretty sweet coincidence that a lot of chat around was the ABs lacked big units to get us over the gain line, the selectors picked another apparently smaller utility loosie, but astoundingly it turns out he's now the same size as Dwayne Vermeulen, one of the bigger loose forwards getting around. He's also like 10kg heavier than every other loose forward as well.

    How lucky did we get?

    Blackadder isn't going to change anything... what he might do, is provide some impetus and energy off the bench, but he isn't going to go over the top of the someone the way Frizell can... more similar to an Ardie where it is about leg-drive and post-contact metres.

    It is not about that I am asking a fair question and you resort to childish memes like a 2 year old lol.

    True to form

    its a GIF not a meme....i dont think a 2 year old wold know about that GIF...its definitely an oldie

    And here was I thinking a GIF could be a meme if it is memetic.
    Hang on is the rule that it is a meme if and only if a 2-year-old would know about it?
    I am glad the TSF exists for me to learn something new every day.

    @mariner4life Ryan putting out a bit of misinformation that maybe an opposition coach might be sucked into believing and reacting to?

    Ethan will be a big openside if they play him there - 10kgs heavier than Richie McCaw!

    I'm sure Dalton is 10kg or more lighter than 118kg. Not. And Finau is around 115? Big lad.

    It will be funny if Paps gets injured as well and then Ta$man Jesus becomes our openside and his weight drops back down to 108kg.

    You are under estimating the technical ability of 2 years olds these days.You can search for older material to post.

    That's not happening - turns out Ethan's quite a bit bigger than Ryan thought!

    It could have been a random search and it came up.

    OK - maybe this belongs in the Forster's Firsts thread, but...

    Half-baked theory #223

    Fozzie actually did something pretty smart.

    He picked Emoni Narawa knowing full well that he was never going to be fit to play at the RWC.

    Consequently, Emoni became a bit like a blank tile in Scrabble. He could be traded at a moment's notice for any player in NZ that Foster might need.

    In the meantime the likes of Blackadder and Moody got some NPC gametime and Fozzie got to see how the field unfolded.

    As it happens, they've used him for Ethan Blackadder, but with de Groot's red card, maybe they should have used him for Moody.

    Anyway, it's quite a smart plan (which provides a logical explanation for the seeming idiocy of five wings) and even if it wasn't a plan it's one we should bank for future reference.

    You are giving a lot of credit to Foster his track record points to a complete fluke if it works out.

    @Chris Maybe it was Ryan or Schmidt who came up with the plan - Fozzie only had to realise it was a good one!
