:Part of the "big south african pack" thing to me comes to height rather than weight.
PSTD (2.00m), Etzebeth (2.03m) and Snyman (2.07m) are very tall chaps.
The only AB over 2 metres in the game was Whitelock.
And their aura or reputation

Probably true about height, but tall guys aren't necessarily more physical, so us getting pushed around by them is unlikely - if we bring the correct mindset.
I don't think the ABs worry about the size of the SA pack, they can be brutal though and know that they have to match it.
It's not like our guys are small being the point.

:@canefan yeah partly perception i'm sure given the Boks like to play more direct and the ABs tend to play a more mobile game.
This.

:@Snowy Certainly no Ben Tamiefunas among them. Commentary reckoned he weighs in at 150kgs and apparently it's right.
Still eclipsed by big bill cavubati
lost 35 kegs to get down to 135. Legend (for five minutes until the fitness caught up with him)

Really interesting, backs up what a few of us have been arguing for a while. Also, looks like they've figured out how to use Barrett:

:IIRC from the match we started with a bigger pack anyway? So where does all of the BIG SA stuff come from?
Almost like a myth (I miss the myth, great player) or even an Aura.
I can't remember... who was The Myth?

No. Genuine question due to old age.

:@booboo Some Wallaby prop (Blades, maybe) called him that. It stuck.
Mr Booboo the nurse will take you in for your colonoscopy now.
is it their anniversary again already?

@taniwharugby that's just stupid. If you compare the individual players weight on official stats the Boks are heavier than the ABs man for almost. So when it's added up.thr ABs have the heavier pack? Really 🤔
