Has he lost some weight? He was 150kg I think. Big will Skelton was a bit of a blob untill Saracens made him lose the excess and now he is a monster.

Yeah, he certainly looks in better shape and his game is showing it! He was just tubby wasn’t he whereas now he’s still carrying some extra timber and whilst it’s hard to tell looks like he’s 1) lost a bit of weight 2)turned a bit into more useful bulk/weight/muscle. Like I say, it’s more in the way he makes a lot of tackles (more than you’d expect), carried and plays more minutes so obviously in much better shape

By chance I’ve been keeping half an eye on Pasolo Tuilagi (yep, another one) who has been called up to the senior squad- born (I think) and brought up in France , the son of infamous Perpignan powerhouse Henry Tuilagi. He is an absolute monster and has seriously improved since his early France U20 days when he sort of resembled the really massive and overweight kid at U12 who’s twice the size of everyone else but struggles to keep up but pushes players and takes 5 kids to pull him down as he wades through them. He’s massively developed his fitness and all round game and is now a Top14 regular. At only 19, if he continues this development he’s gonna be one of the worlds leading locks in 2-3 years
