Sometimes, you see something on a Rugby pitch that makes you clamber for your remote so you can rewind and watch the incident again because it was so astounding that you think your eyes are lying to you.

That’s exactly the feeling we had during the Sharks and Stormers Super Rugby game in 2012.

After scoring a try, the Sharks Anton Bresler, weighing in at 112 KG, caught the restart, thanks in no small part to the freakish strength of Tendai ‘The Beast’ Mtawarira.

The Zimbabwean born loose-head picked up his team-mate suspending him in mid air by the shorts for a time that you would have previously considered impossible.

One things for sure, the Beast is an apt nickname.

1. You are the ugliest player on the team. Let’s face it, we can’t imagine the stunning looks and athlete’s body of Matthew Stevens anywhere else on the pitch.

2. You can out drink your team mates on after match and tour ‘bonding’ sessions. Props are the kings of beer on a rugby team, this is an undisputed fact.

3. You dominate the gym during team sessions. Front rowers have often been blessed with so called ”silly” strength. You just have a little bit of Arnold Schwarznigger in you when it comes to lifting.

4. You and your massive legs probably require planning permission to buy a pair of shorts. Yeah all that silly strength in the gym? This gives you the grace of two tree trunks to take to field which you will run over vulnerable wingers with.

5. All year long is bulking season. When you’re prop, you’re constantly looking to gain mass, usually via a strict diet of raw carrion and pints.

6. You think you can step anyone on the pitch like an agile back. It’s a case of feeling fast on your feet but moving a snails pace from the third person’s view.

7. You probably don’t care much for personal hygiene.  And you’re always the only lad in the shower after the game without shower gel.

8. You buy your boots on how big the studs are, not what colour they are. Because let’s face it, who wants to stand out the wing all day getting cold hands with pink boots…

9. You have a bad case of cauliflower ears. You now resemble a trophy with your modified ears, if you haven’t found a female counterpart by now, the search has become a lot tougher.

10. When you make a break, this is how you feel…
