Revealed: The biggest and strongest beasts in rugby

Sergio Parisse – Italy

A No.8 of great ability, the 6ft 5in Sergio Parisse is not the heftiest player to occupy the back of the scrum at 17st 5lb, but his positional sense in the line-out and flair for getting across the gainline have marked him out as an outstanding player both for club and country. An absolute machine.


Jamie Bhatti – Scotland

Another prop who is a relative tyro in the world of international rugby with just three Test caps to his name. He built his solid frame outside the conventional confines of the gym. Bhatti spent his youth lugging around cow carcasses during his job as a slaughterman.
