Who is the giant SA rugby schoolboy making headlines?
· The South African
When it comes to world rugby, Springbok star RG Snyman is one of the tallest and most physically imposing players in the game, and yet there is a South African schoolboy rugby player who quite literally measures up.
Pictures have recently done the rounds showing Rondebosch Boys’ High lock Sebastian Vermeulen pictured alongside Snyman, and almost making him look small.

Vermeulen weighs 140kg and stands 2.06m tall, and he understandably caught the attention of supporters at the Pretoria Boys’ High 125th Anniversary Easter Rugby Festival over the weekend.
The 18-year-old is said to be able to bench press 120kg, and can squat 180kgs.

A bit small for me to be a lock. Might need to convert to loose forward 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/62KUi6Dlih
