He looks like he’s doing the Hakka and I wouldn’t want him on the opposing team. I bet he’s pushed some right heavyweights out of his way. He’s rag Willie Mason all over like a rag doll.



Has any Sumo Wrestlers ever played Rugby league?

Would probably be too slow, but there's only 2 teams in Japan and only one that's Japanese players (the other is Aussie and NZ expats) so unlikely

I wondered where Damo has gone.















Now I wish he'd stayed there.

One plays for Wigan at present.

Not all Sumo wrestlers are big blobs.



Chiyonofuji (the wolf) was quite slight in comparison and dominated sumo in the 80's. He was very strong and agile and often defeated guys much much larger than himself.



Would have been interesting to have seen him at prop.

No.

We could go a step further after Sumo wrestlers, we could invite circus clowns, they cou;d double up and provide the half time entertainment?

Id say sumo's are more suited to Rugby Union

Michael Smith gave it a good go.................................

Can they kick?
