Height and weight

[edit]

In some recent edits an IP changed the height and weight of Green on this article. First of all we did not pluck these measurements out of thin air. They were taken from ESPNScrum.com which is linked with a cite. Scrum.com is probably the most trusted of all rugby related data reference points. Secondly I'm assuming the editor took his/her information from this article in the Independent. Their first error is that this article is from 1998, this is almost 9 years before his retirement from the sport and his weight could fluctuate a fair bit in this time. Secondly the editor misread 171/2 stone as 171 or 172 pounds. It is not, it is 17 and a half stone, which is far closer to the 18st 4lbs that we have here on Wikipedia. As for the height we are arguing over 2-3 centimeters which is hardly amateurish, especially as some people are not always trustworthy over their height. As we have two trusted sources I state we stick with ESPN until a third source can be found that agrees with either Scrum.com or the Indie. FruitMonkey (talk) 17:58, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
