The mighty DM - would have to be the strongest little man in reserve grade rugby, will take on any sized front row and will usually school them

Another one of the smaller front row giants that the Ants possess - works well in tandem with DM and uses the power of angling in to great advantage.

The Deer hunting American...  a tower in the lineout and very mobile around the field.

Stu

 

 

 

Name: Stu Meikle-John

Stu Little proves that you don't have to be 100kg to make it on the wing anymore. With a devastating swerve and defence that will take down any would be atacker he is a great asset in the back line
