Will Skelton

Will Skelton is a towering and immensely powerful lock (not flanker) whose physical dominance in the tight five is central to Stade Rochelais's success. A two-time European Champions Cup winner with La Rochelle, the Australia international uses his 6'8", 145kg frame to devastating effect as a relentless ball-carrier and immovable object in the set-piece. He is a leader whose presence sets the platform for the team's abrasive, forward-driven style of play.
