This is a list of the tallest, shortest, heaviest and lightest individuals that have ever played for the All Blacks. It is evident that the forwards are amongst the tallest and the heaviest while the backs are amongst the shortest and lightest due to the different physical requirements of their roles. However, there are a few players that contradict this idea such as Jonah Lomu who was 196cm tall and weighed 119kg whilst he played as a wing. [1] Also, Robert Wilson only weighed 60kg whilst playing as a forward. [2]
