I had to call kit manufacturers to make me XXXXXL shirt after joining English giants to fit mega 6ft 8in, 22st frame

TACKLING Le Roux Roets should be X-rated — well perhaps XXXXX-rated!

Sale’s new cult hero, at over 6ft 8in and 21st 12lbs, needed an SOS call to the club’s kit manufacturers for a XXXXXL shirt.

And the bbq steak-loving second row revealed he has to watch his weight – or he would break the scales.

Monster South African Roets, 29, who also has size 14 boots, is literally the biggest Premiership signing of the season.
