Bigger than the All Blacks: Wallabies have the units to play a power game
A formidable Wallabies midfield bigger than Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith? It's an option. A bruising blindside larger than Jerome Kaino? Can do. A giant back three averaging well over 100 kilograms a man? Possibly.
The likes of Samu Kerevi (108kg), Lopeti Timani (123kg) and will-he-won't he winger Taqele Naiyaravoro (I'm guessing anywhere between 120kg and 140kg) have thrust their large frames into the spotlight. And when you line them up alongside the likes of Will Skelton, big ball-carrying hookers such as Stephen Moore, No.13 Tevita Kuridrani, Wycliff Palu, Israel Folau and the half-human, half-boulder that is David Pocock it changes the landscape, dramatically. If power is king in the modern game the Wallabies can be among the big boys again.
