Competition: Get a Chance to Watch the Lions in Australia

From bulking up to becoming formidable forces on the field to slimming down for agility and speed, these six rugby players have rewritten the narrative of their careers through their incredible metamorphoses.

In this article, we delve into the inspiring journeys of these athletes who have sculpted their bodies to adapt to the ever-evolving demands of the game.

Join us as we explore the dedication, discipline, and sheer determination that have fueled their incredible transformations, both on and off the rugby pitch.

The All Blacks legendary captain has revealed he's dropped 17kg since retiring, shifting what he called 'unnecessary rugby muscle'.

Since hanging up his boots following their 2015 World Cup triumph, McCaw has become obsessed with ultra-hardcore marathons and has shifted a lot of that weight to give him a speed advantage.

The 41-year-old, who weighed 107 kg, is now closer to 90kg since dropping the weight.

The Wallabies legend started out as an skinny 78kg teen who worked day in and day out to transform himself, with his size and strength came at a cost, Pocock told Australian Story.

The World Cup-winning prop has transformed his body since hanging up his boots. Vickery, who won the 2011 series of Celebrity Masterchef, has recently opened his new Cheltenham restaurant, No.3, after the Coronavirus pandemic delayed first orders. He's literally half the man he used to be.

When he was a prop for the Wallabies Matt Dunning weighed 130kg and was constantly mocked for his tubby frame.

But since retiring from rugby union the 35-year-old has lost a staggering 40kg, dropping from 25 per cent body fat to just 11 per cent in six months.

He looks amazing.

The centre missed out on Eddie Jones’ first squad for the Six Nations Grand Slam triumph in 2016 with the Aussie labelling him “grossly overweight”.
