      When you see him fronting off against the opposition he gets this LOOK in his eyes - it's so intense. He's amazing to watch.

    Being South African, I was very happy that you talked about Eben. There is a very small guy also in the South African team, who is like a Fox terrier, nothing phases him and no matter how big a man is, he is just not afraid and never cares who he is up against, His Name is Faf DeKlerk

    He plays as "Lock, also called second row" (there are 2 locks in any team, and they always use the 4 and 5 jerseys), the avarage height for Locks is 2,00 meters or 6 feet 7 in.
    He is 2,04 meters (6 feet 8 in) and 130kg (285 lbs), so basically LeBron with extra 40 lbs of muscles.

    Tackling high (not head high) might dislodge the ball or prevent a pass. Unlike North American football, in rugby a yard or two isn't all that important unless you are down at the try line. It is more important to disrupt the flow of your opponents game.

Bone Crunching just about legal tackles, Great documentary on the country of Tonga right now, not so much money in that country but they always do well, upset & live for the big hits! Thanks for the video!
