No I play that position I'm 15 play on my schools team I'm a starter number 7 and I'm only 5'2 and 53-54 kg hight is not an issue u are quite large but short so u should have no problem taking people down I an tiny compared to u and I am quite good at my postion

It is more of an issue at 6 or 8. Phil Waugh and George Smith weren't tall but they were both very good.
