Sean Faris is not a hooker.


Seriously, who decided to make him a hooker? He clearly lacks the good looks of a front rower, like no neck, battered ears, and S-shaped nose. Him playing a fancy first five-eigth or winger would be a lot more believable. Instead he's stealing the fat kids' job.

Hahaha oh man that made me giggle. As a Prop myself, that is just fantastic

i agree i haven't seen the movie but in the trailer at one point i say him 11, weak side winger, why he's a hooker is probably since that's the position where they could hide the fact that he doesn't play rugby, besides we all know the toughest and best position is a scrum half. GO #9!

i agree i probably would have put him at no#12 or 13 or even a winger.
But a hooker please. He's not big enough to be a hooker.

But he is a prostitute.

i play hooker and i can not see him as one... as far as the pack goes maybe a flanker but thats it.

How big do have to be to be a hooker? From his profile he is 6ft; it doesn't say how much he weighs.

Andy Titterell played for the British Lions. For an Englishman that's the highest level you can get in the sport. According to his Wiki profile, he's 5ft 8ins (1.73m) and 14st 11lbs (94Kg or 207lbs). I'll admit, though, that is small for a professional rugby playing hooker. Steve Thompson, another British Lion, is also a hooker. His stats are 6ft 2in (1.88m) and 18st 2lb (115kg or 254lbs).

How dare you insult Sean Faris's looks! he's the hottest guy on the planet! he's so freakin sexy i dont know what would happen to my religious morals if i met him.

I've played loose-head for a decade, and to make the main character a hook? First of all, that actor has a neck, there's strike one, tow, and three right there. Sean Astin? He could be a hooker... Next time these clowns decide to make a movie about a sport they know nothing about, maybe do some research, some action coaching? And Bill Frickin' Lundbergh as a coach? Jeez...

stealing the fat kids job?

watch who you're talking about, bud.
being a hooker has nothing to do with being fat.. it's about being SMALL.

i've been a hooker for the past three years, and saying it's a "fat kids job" is quite insulting.
