You wouldn't want to meet these lads down a supermarket aisle, never mind a dark alley...
Off the back of 'big bopper' Will Skelton making a try-scoring debut for Australia against France at the weekend, the lads at Fox Sports Rugby HQ decided to compile a top five of fearsome big men. The criteria for the list wasn't just height, or muscle, or playing ability, but a combination of all three, ranked by weight. When Number 5 is man mountain Rodney Blake - 6'3", 21 stone - you know you are in for some seriously monstrous men to appear and the list doesn't disappoint. Packed with behemoths, the best bit of the compilation is the way they bulldoze through tackles and leave their opponents for dead. Make sure you keep an eye out for Number 3 Ben Tameifuna, who levels Michael Hooper at 1.30 in one of the most crushing tackles you'll ever see. Top of the list is, of course, Skelton, who stands at 6'8" and who tips the scales at 22 stone. A true giant amongst men. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIyjTFAPYi8&feature=youtu.beExplore more on these topics:
