Dallaglio - MONSTER of a man

[Soovy]

Jesus - you wouldn't want a right hand from him.

Ross Kemp has been on the pies lately.

Obama is looking nervous, it has to be said.

It's deceiving when you see them on the pitch as they're all relative to each other, rather than anyone "normal" sized - I bumped into Dorian West and Mike Tindall in Sydney during the RWC a few years ago, and they're fecking HUGE.

A true gent but as you say, an absolute monster of a man.

Johnny Wilkson is actually a pretty big fella too if you ignore his height.

I think one of the only England Rubgy players I've met who didn't seem any bigger than an average man was Rob Andrews but once again, he was a gentleman.

I've been in the pub in Twickenham when Dallaglio has walked in.

EVERY SINGLE WOMAN in the pub IMMEDIATELY stopped talking. There wasn't a dry gusset in the place.


The b astad.

He's a midget...

If you see them both side on then Dally is much wider than Johnson.
I've played against or have drunk with plenty of Premiership & International players and LD makes most of them look small.

I think a right hander off this fella would sting a bit!

One of the scariest looking people I've ever met is Ian Gough. He looks big-ish when you see him on the pitch, but up close he's a fecking beast (a real gentle giant though).

Of course, every time I find myself thinking "They're not that big", I catch a glimpse of Shane Williams (at a mere 5' 7" he's my height) being dwarfed by the entire field

ETA: Having said all that, if you think Dallaglio and Johnson are big you should meet Luke Charteris. At 6'10" and pushing 20 stone he's quite a big lad.

I met him at a school parents evening ( daughters are friends) and said to him with typical Glasgow brash:

" fk me. Are we the same species?"

He replied with: " You think I'm big you should meet Martin Johnson."

[Sway]

I sold him a bike a few years ago, he had to wait a couple of weeks while we got one in the right size. I've never seen a bicycle frame as big, like a barn door.

Yet when he got on it, it looked small...

[10 Pence Short]

Oh for god's sake, he's just a big guy. And he only plays posh bumming rugby, not the real kind.

Bet he doesn't even have a whippet.

Or an Australian accent...

Speaking of sporting monsters... the bloke on the right is 6 foot 2. Dallaglio is 6 foot 4. Sasquatch on the left would kill him, shag him and eat him.
