Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

I could be very wrong here as the boys these days are bigger than ever across the park but I'd be surprised if hes 6'2.

Fonua is all Rugby as far as I'm aware. Physically he's Rugby down to the ground as well and a comparison would be a guy like Doyle from the 20s but a bit shorter. Like Toby Brial but able to play Lock.

I'll really rate Fonua's smarts and work rate. Not the absolute impact beast of a Lemota but over 80 minutes will bring a hell of a lot more. A lot of these guys suffer from that "in between" physique and unfortunately at the absolute top, size matters (unlike you're a freak like Ardie).

Has him listed at 6'4 and 109kg. I haven't seen him play since the last U18 games. Either a complete error or he's grown or it's just been overestimated. I was trying to find the photo of when he and Brial met the wallabies last year to compare but can't find it.

Wow ok. Happy to be corrected and makes him a great prospect if he's that tall.

Bells listed as 192cm and to me if they went back to back standing up straight Bell would just shade him. Could assume Heinz has grown since then as well.

Looks like he’s slightly taller than belly in that photo but it can be deceiving. Weight looks bang on though. Either way he’s going to France if we don’t change his mind with some extra dollars. Or we need to get him back!
