Huge blow for the Champions Cup and race for Pro14 playoffs. Huge.

Possibly help him even more in defence which is arguably more relevant to Kinghorns development, bit more weight to put in the tackle combine that with some better technique.

come on, as TH says his defence issues are AlanLewis all to do with bulk or strength, all about being in the wrong place and when in the right place being caught flat footed or taking the wrong decision. While he looks as if could carry another 4 or 5 kilos without affecting his pace, extra bulk is more likely to make his ability to get his feet in the right place more rather than less likely, so there is a limit as to how much more bulk is sensible as opposed to possible.
And for all he looks like he could safely carry a bit more, that isn't always possible or sensible for some players

Where did I say his defensive issues are down to bulk and strength?
“bit more weight to put in the tackle combine that with some better technique.”
Better tackle technique with greater mass behind it will almost certainly be more effective, rather than slipping off some as he does at present.

correction accepted, my bad.
As to the Stockdale one, where was Kinghorn when Stockdale broke through?
