113kg is actually impossible to stop from five metres out
Standing at only 1.81 metres, weighing 113 kg and having legs the size of beer barrels is a deadly combination for a ball carrier near the line. When combined with some explosive power to go with that physique, it is no surprise the Fiji and Lyon winger Josua Tuisova might actually be one of the most lethal carriers from close range rugby has ever seen- certainly for a winger.
The 28-year-old winger is a destructive ball carrier anywhere on the field, but his centre of gravity is so low that when he puts his head down aiming for the line, he basically becomes a 113kg bowling ball. Pau centre Émilien Gailleton would probably agree with that assessment.
Tuisova was the first to open the try scoring at the Stade du Hameau on Saturday, and when looking at how much space he was given and how close he was to the line, any covering tackler stood absolutely no chance.
