Who is this guy (details within)?

Question

I have been told that there is a professionaly Rugby player who is over 6'5, 320lbs and can do a 40 meter dash in 4.2 seconds (has a 4-2 40). My stats might be a little off, and that's unfortunately all I know.

Does anyone have any idea who I'm talking about? Sorry I can't provide more info.

Answer 1

there is no players with the build that can run 40 meters in 4.2 seconds. but there are some that big, do u kno wat he looks like? color hair or anything headgear?

Answer 2

the only one I can think of that is near that size and speed (once) was Jonah Lomu, I can't think of any others

Answer 3

It is almost certainly Jonah Lomu.  He's retired from Rugby some years back due to a major kidney problem amongst other health concerns.

He is 6'5" as you stated so he fits the height.  He played wing and had great acceleration so he'd fit the speed category.  The only thing he doesn't fit is the weight.  He was about 120kg when he played which is about 270 lbs BUT when he was going through his troubles in hospital etc, he wasn't able to exercise and he was frequently bloated which made him look over 300 lbs... and he easily could have hit 300 lbs anyway.

He is from Tonga, a distant relative of the King of Tonga.  He played all his Rugby from school grade up to International in New Zealand.

Just search his name on Youtube... you'll probably find some of his insane destruction there... any that include Mike Catt in the title will be particularly amusing.

Answer 4

It is highly unlikely that someone could run that fast, but a few rugby players with origins from the Pacific Islands would almost fit the bill. See Jonah Lomu, Joeli Vidiri, Joe Rokocoko and so on...
