Regardless, Toole is significantly bigger than Kolbe, so I’m keen to learn from those stating definitively that Toole if Kolbe is too also small to make it as a professional player. And how would Kolbe go as a Wallaby winger? Assuming he was given the opportunity, he'd rip it up.

I suspect FairWeather is speaking comparatively and not absolutely. Williams' peer group of outside back opponents would, AFAIK, be smaller than Toole's. Not really.

They don't really sell though. They just shed players at the end of contract or even mid contract recently. There's no windfall from it as there's not a transfer market to speak of in pro rugby.
