Barrett and McKenzie have both played at fly-half and fullback. Comparing two players who cover similar backline roles gives context for the 10 cm difference without mixing forwards and backs.
Reading the rugby height chart
Both figures come from New Zealand Rugby player profiles. They describe standing stature. Catching a high ball also involves timing, reach, and jump technique, none of which are measured by the chart.
