Is 1m75 (5ft9) too short for a rugby prop?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I am 1m75, 16 yo, about 215 pounds ( 97kg) with a very stocky build. I was wondering what would be my ideal position with that build and if it was too short to be a good prop at professional level.I am 1m75, 16 yo, about 215 pounds ( 97kg) with a very stocky build.

Not at all. The Waratahs and Wallabies have a short dumpy prop in Ben Robinson who cant be much bigger than your "stats" while Blues and AB Hooker Kevin Mealamu is even smaller than you. You don't state what age you are but if your under 18 don't leave it too long on what position you want to play in rugby.

I'm 6"2 and sometimes play prop so....I don't know. I'm 82 kg and am very big so you just sound kind of......fat?! Sorry, but are you really built? Also, Cian Healy is 6"1 and Mike Ross is 6"2, so you seem a little small. If you're not fat and decide to tone up, you could be a power-house.

No not at all. Hooker or Prop is fine

no
