World Cup muscle: Jerry Collins
New Zealand blind-side Jerry Collins
Height: 1.90m (6ft 3in)
Weight: 109kg (17st 2lb)
Age: 26 Caps: 44

With his bleach-blonde hair and Popeye physique, New Zealand blind-side Collins cuts a distinctive figure even before he starts laying waste to the opposition.

Whereas some players can make one big hit and then disappear, Collins is capable of making a series of big tackles, leaving the opposition feeling like they are facing a one-man wrecking crew.

Collins is reported to have reduced the size of his 52cm (21 inch) biceps because he felt they were interfering with his tackling.
