Leinster Senior Squad 2016/2017

[ChrisUppy]

Few interesting things there. Andrew Porter the heaviest player in the squad, at what? 21? What a freak. Surely somebody at Leinster has considered moving him to TH.

Didn't think Hugo Keenan was as big as the stats indicate...

Also if the stats are correct, Jack Conan has lost a stone

Porter is still 20.

Dunno about the believability of some of those stats.

well they say muscle is denser than fat and Porter is strong as hell plus looking at his physique, mainly chest and legs, those muscles are incredibly well developed,

a lot also depends on when these measurements are taken eg if a guy was coming of an injury theres a good chance he put on fat

These stats are always dodgy, apparently Toner, Strauss, Cronin and McFadden all grew an inch while Furlong, J.McGrath, Tracy, Nagle, VDF,A.Byrne, Dooley and Bent have all apparently shrunk from last season.

or they are more accurate, for instance Nagle was never listed as 6'7 before coming to Leinster, always 6'6.
Adam Byrne is not 6'4, but for some reason his profile was edited when he started playing Ireland 7's.

Some of them are highly questionable though, examples Cathal Marsh being 5'10, 90kg, Ross Molony being heavier than Mick Kearney, Billy Dardis being heavier than Dave Kearney, Dan Leavy being heavier than Rhys Ruddock, Cian Healy being lighter than Peter Dooley.

Few surprising ones there.

Didn't think Healy was that "light". Must have leaned up to save his hammers and ankles. Program vs Canada has him at 112kgs

Suprised to see Henshaw not in triple figures. He's a proper hulk of a man. Program vs Canada has him at 100kgs. Could Leinster have listed him at his weight while he was still crocked?

Also if Earls is 90kgs there is no way DK is only 85 for me.

I am assuming the correct Jack Conan is the one you have listed at 108kgs? Who was meant to be the one listed as 98kgs?

Dominc Ryan listed at 98kg, which if true is a joke.

The Cathal Marsh one is hilarious!
A kilo lighter than Sexton, 2kg heavier than Isa and the same weight as Rob Kearney? Me hole!

[neiliog93]

There's no way Henshaw is 6'1" or 96 kg. He's previously been listed 6'3 or 6'4 and 103 kg which seems more accurate.

don't think he is 6'1 but he isn't 6'4 either.

[johng]

I'm 6'1" and 103kg. I have stood beside Robbie Henshaw. He is 6'3" and while his bulk is higher up his torso than mine I doubt he is lighter than me.

[simonokeeffe]

goign by squad pics today Jack Conan definitely looks to have slimmed down/leaned out, was much chunkier when he came back from injury earlier this year

[Morf]

I looked at the Irish bios for heights and weights about a month ago and they were allover the place too.

So much so that I reckon it was some sort of deliberate effort to have them that way.

On Henshaw I am about 6'1.5" and he was at the very least 6'3" standing beside him. He's a big guy and for the most part he wasn't ever given his proper height - even when he was on the Connacht site.

[Laighin Break]

I'd also have thought Tadhg Furlong is more than just 6'0. Rory Best if 5'11" and there looks to be more than an inch difference in their heights.

[Oldschool]

All those "erroneous" stats are possibly-
A. Computer error - "Computers have minds of their own" is definite thesis material.
B. The work of a summer student handef a job nobody else wanted ie gather and enter the relevant info .
C. A dastardly attempt at deceiving our opponents.
Might guess would be A. caused by B.

And there you have it.

Peadar Timmins listed at 6'2 96kg.. Oisin Heffernan at 6' 118kg
