Luke Chartris (Wales) is listed at 2.06m (6'9") on the Welsh Rugby Union Official Site: http://www.wru.co.uk/19811.php?player=4871&includeref=dynamic

Sheridan is incredibly strong, I would say Sheridan, Martin Castrogiovanni, Soane Tonga'uiha. Also Bismarck du Plessis is amazingly strong.

Probably Joost van der Westuizen or Os du Randt but of the modern game is a hard one. I'd go with Bakkies Botha, Bryan Habana, Beast, or Victor Matfield
