3=. Levan Chilachava (Georgia) – 133kg
It turns out the Georgian powerhouse can be just as scary for his teammates too, after the 28-year-old posted a hilarious video to Instagram on Sunday in which he jumped out of a bin to frighten hooker Vano Karkadze.
Well played, Levan.
3=. Taniela Tupou (Australia) – 133kg
The “Tongan Thor” made a name for himself as a youngster when he became an internet sensation after footage emerged of him trampling over his competitors as a schoolboy in New Zealand.
2. Tomas Francis (Wales) – 130kg
He holds a degree in mechanical engineering.
But while he might not use his qualification in the literal sense, the big man can certainly engineer himself around the scrum.
The tighthead prop is a key figure for the Exeter Chiefs — whom he helped lift the Aviva Premiership in 2017 — and for his country.
1. Ben Tameifuna (Tonga) – 153kgx
Good luck stopping this man.
Weighing in at 333lbs (151kg), Tonga’s Tameifuna is comfortably the heaviest man at the tournament.
