Rhys Carre looks amply equipped to rescue a piano from a burning building.
The Wales and Cardiff loosehead stands 6ft 3in and weighs 21st 5lb, according to the Welsh Rugby Union’s website. He is a giant of a man, possibly the biggest prop Wales have ever fielded, and he is also impactful around the field with his carrying and ability to win turnovers.
Yet when he toured South Africa with Wales recently, his on-pitch contribution was restricted to a cameo off the bench in the first Test — 30 minutes, five tackles, one miss, a carry which saw him stopped on the gainline and a yellow card for collapsing a maul.
