Re: biggest wingers
I have the obvious contenders
Lomu
Kirwan
Tiquiri
also would you consider Caucau to be a 'big' winger?

Alesana Tuilagi - 18 stone and over 6 foot. The man is a beast. AP top try scorer last season as well.

Re: biggest wingers
Being big is one thing having the other necessary skills to be a winger is another.
Shane is no giant but he is third on the international list of leading Rugby union Test try scorers behind Daisuke Ohata and David Campese.

Re: biggest wingers
To be fair you did say "winger". If you can do that without a Welsh person popping in to mention that Shane Williams is the messiah within 10 posts, you get a free car.

Re: biggest wingers
What is the point of having a debate on big wingers if you cant compare them to the smaller guys ?
Or does everybody just stick a name of a big winger in there ?

Re: biggest wingers
Why don't you start another thread called "comparing big wingers to small wingers?" if that's what you want to do?

Re: biggest wingers
Ireland used always have a heavy set winger for many years. Most of the time, Marcus Horan wouldn't even come 10 yards in from the sideline unless he was required for a scrum.

Cari I recently stood next to him and I did not think he was that heavy.
I often wonder if half the player stats are exaggerated by club and country.

I cwtched him in January, and he was a good size to me!
Anyway, it's all muscle on these lads isn't it? So they might not look heavy, but the weight's there.

Re: biggest wingers
Yeah, Bowe's not that big. Stats are exaggerated (a lot in some cases). It's difficult to tell unless you see them next to another player (or a regular person) for comparison.Cymroglan wrote:Cari I recently stood next to him and I did not think he was that heavy.

JP Pietersen's 6'3"?? For some reason, I've always thought of him as a slightly smaller winger who punches above his weight. Who have I been watching all this time??

Re: biggest wingers
I'm about 15st 2, and I wouldn't say that's massive. Totally conceivable that Bowe is that weight, but I wouldn't put him up there with the "big" wingers.

Well his height is definitely correct because he was way taller than me when I stood next to him, and I'm 5'9" and a bit. As with the weight I would've thought that fluctuates with players anyway.
