SBW just fought a 6'5" listed boxer and was clearly slightly taller than him. His 6'3" listing seems a strange anomaly but it's everywhere

Rob's losing height here due to that big guy on his right. I think Dawson is 5' 10" & 1/8th or so and they just rounded it off to 5' 10". He has about 2" on yourself if you both stood up straight. Not 179 though. Strong 5' 10". SAK says on 6/Nov/11
Braken is not 5ft11/180cm.
On All star family fortunes, standing next to Vernon Kay (6ft4) and he is was definitely 6-6.5" shorter, both had similar shoes. He is @ highest 5ft10/178cm, he could even be 5ft9.5/177cm. No way 5ft11. Big T says on 15/Oct/11
I was in a lift with Samoan halfback Kahn Fotuali'i the other day. I am 5'10 1/2" and he is listed at 6' or slightly more (183cm and 184cm). He seemed 5'8"- MAJOR benefit of the doubt 5'9", because he doesn't look as short as 5'8" in pics, but he was right there and he wasn't even close to my height. So, sometimes listed Union heights are worse than WWE! SAK says on 12/Oct/11
Steve Thomson looks slightly shorter then 6ft2/188cm Ben Cohen here. I think Thomson is 187cm/6ft1.5. Big T says on 10/Oct/11
Rugby heights are not that accurate. For the All Blacks 191cm listed SBW is slightly taller than 196cm listed Kaino and about 2 inches taller than 192cm listed Vito. Carter's 178cm listing is weird as he is clearly taller than 5'11"-6' listed teammates- I think he is at least 5'11. He is easily taller than Weepu but they have the same listing SAK says on 11/Sep/11

Wilkinson looks 177cm, SAK. But in all fairness rugby players heights are reasonably accurate because they get measured as part of their conditioning....

Thanks.
Yeah i noticed that Rugby player height listing tend to be reasonably accurate compared to other sports like football.
I would agree with 177cm for Wilkinson (may be even dropping near 176cm in evening). But overall 177cm for Wilkinson, with a stocky, typical rugby player build, which makes him look shorter and stumpy. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 29/May/11
That's fair enough Rob. But more rugby players need to be added. The ones that come to mind are Dan Carter, Johnny Wilkinson, Brian O'Driscoll, Gavin Henson and Martin Johnson Big T says on 25/May/11
Anyone have a thought on how tall Sonny Bill Williams is? I have a photo with him but not sure I want to add it....anyway, his 6'3" listing has never made much sense to me as he has always looked taller than that. He gets mentioned at 6'4" all the time and I reckon that might be more like it. He looked taller to me in person than 6'5" listed Lomu! Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 24/Apr/11
Hold on Rob you "give him 179cm because he's a nice guy"?
[Editor Rob: I'm joking a bit...because if I went by the England and rugby club listings of 5ft 10 I think I'd be going *against* how tall i believe he looked,
which was no less than 179cm.
in fact I believe he looked an inch taller in person than another 'measured' 5ft 10 guy like Tyson did...

Is Johnny Wilkonson really 5ft10, he looks 5ft9 to me, Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 29/Jan/11
Rob, I can't believe Matt Dawson of all rugby players has a page here yet real and far more talented players such as Dan Carter, Jonah Lomu and even Johnny Willkinson don't?
Dawson was never even that good to begin with
[Editor Rob: since I had a photo he was worth adding, since he's also a tv personality aswell.] |
