The man Mike Ross refers to as "monster" is coming to Dublin town this week

France prop Uini Antonio will travel with is international teammates to Ireland, later this week, ahead of Saturday's Six Nations encounter. Weighing in at 155kg, or a shade under 24 and a half stone [342lbs], the New Zealand native is a fearsome scrummaging, and wrecking ball, prospect for Joe Schmidt and his men. SportsJOE felt it was only fitting, in the name of quality Six Nations analysis, to discover just HOW big the La Rochelle forward is. Before we get cracking, here is Antonio in action. Yes, he can shift.
