We seem to be getting ahead of ourselves of course, but when I watched this guy in schools rugby I realised I'd never seen as power a ball carrier, or someone who was so obviously superior (on a purely physical level) to those around him at u-18/u-19 rugby.
It would be apt to call him the best Ferris than O'Brien - closer in terms of physique and style of play. (i.e Conan's only 21 and two inches taller, and already a few kg heavier with more to come than SOB).

Out of the Bluestalk trinity (or quartet if you include Donnyb cameos) you are definitely the stud.

A/ Talk about being the tallest dwarf.
B/ It's DonnyB's gig and some Johnny come lately is the cameo.
C/ I'd actually go with Mauler in the stud stakes. He;s got bit of a knowing glint in the eye there.
Oh Yeah. Donny is the baby of the band too. Makes Dave feel old
