I stand at a little under 5 ft 10 and play as center for my rugby club. I am naturally big/ broad shouldered and have a playing type of crash ball and hard hits as I am very bad at side stepping. I really like players like Manu Tuilagi and Mathieu Bastareaud, the latest probably being my favorite and have a similar way of playing. The thing is that they all stand at around 6 ft and I am much shorter. Will this prevent me to be as powerful in my hits and ball carrying and reach the kind of weight that these guys are at (110kg+), all this while keeping a good pace. Also, would my height penalize me in any other aspect of the game?I stand at a little under 5 ft 10 and play as center for my rugby club.

The small difference between your height (70") and theirs (73" for Tuilangi, 72" for Bastareaud) is not significant for your purposes. Don't worry about it.

your tall I don't know what your talking about but one of the best ball carriers on my team is only about 5 feet as long as u got speed your good to go
