Koula Tukino to tackle.
Tried to find the video of Robinson punching him. Tukino has his own youtube page showing his 113 kg 17 year old son playing french school boy rugby.
He was a wrecking ball.
Alama Ieremia said once he played for Wests , Wellington and the Canes primarily to avoid ever being tackled by Filo Tiatia.
Tukino and Maka were terrifying for the Chiefs. The former one of many ‘next Jonahs’

@MN5 what’s bad about Jamie Roberts
I think the wording in the title is probably confusing to mn5. But Roberts has big biceps eh.

Cowboy Shaw
1980: All Blacks v Wallabies, Ballymore Oval, Brisbane
Although the All Blacks won this second test of the three-match series 12-9, many remember it for the Mark Shaw punch that shattered Steve Williams' jaw.With the All Blacks under immense pressure after losing in Sydney the week before (during which All Blacks wing Stu Wilson broke a finger when smacking prop Stan Pilecki in the head), it was no surprise several stoushes erupted in Brisbane.
So when Wallabies lock Williams threw a haymaker (it missed) at blindside flanker Shaw, there were no second chances offered.
Shaw unloaded a short left punch that put Williams on a liquid diet for a few months. -

My old man coached him in under 20s he had a few stories , my favourite was Cowboy and his brother following the grandslam abs around europe in a van. They get to an intersection and start arguing over which is the right direction and start shoving each other then start punching and ended up outside the van on the road and they were separated by the locals . -

Eric Champ. Dirty bugger and seemed like a tough guy / thug type.
Now a commentator I think on French tele?
You could probably make a whole XV from French players from the 70s and 80s

Marc Cecillon is a shoe in for captain

No either Gerard Cholley or Robert Paparemborde would be sitters for that if looking of a French captain.
Gerard Cholley
(31 caps, 1975-79)
Even the august History of Scottish Rugby described the punch with which Cholley felled Don MacDonald in the 1977 France v Scotland Five Nations match as 'magnificent'. Later in the same match, the 6ft 4in Castres prop scrambled the senses of three other Scots . His Test career was brief, mercifully for his opponents: he only began playing in his mid-twenties while serving as a paratrooper. An army boxing champion, Cholley wasn't a great technician but, boy, could he punch.

There's no way Finlay Calder and John Jeffrey woulda stood for that kind of shit.

Having seen the video I can say that no-one stood much at all after Cholley was through with them. It was brutal.

Yep. Jean Condom, apart from having an unfortunate name was a bit filthy IIRC.

Pregnant pause to think about that...
