I'm also happy to add that I don't watch enough live Rugby at
the top level these days to really have that knowledgeable an
opinion. So tend to read a lot more of other folks views who do.
Who'd be a coach!

I’m assuming the assumption that Will is too small to be an
international 7 is based on his phenomenal stats in the
Premiership where all the players he competes against are of
course smaller than him and have not yet earned any Caps.
However, if he was competing against larger opponents in the
Premiership who have played for their country he wouldn’t be at
the top of the rankings would he.

Height and weight does not equal power. Earl is clearly the more
powerful of the 2 players.

Not quite. At club level you come up against big, powerful
internationals all the time. But at most you might have one or
two of them on the opposition and since rugby is a team sport,
there is still room for players like Evans to excel. But when up
against an entire pack of brutes, such as SA or France, it's a
totally different ball game. Less powerful players become
seriously nullified. Blown away, even.
I love Evans. I'm just of the opinion that he's probably lacking
the exceptional power required at international level.

There's more chance of a one-leegged cat burying a poo on a
frozen pond than there is of Will Evans being 16 stone.

According to Wikipedia, Kwagga Smith is 1.81m and 91kg.
Two world cup winner's medals. Must be phenomenally powerful.

Kwagga Smith is an absolute animal. This isn't the argument you
think it is 😂
