Watching the 7s yesterday reminded me how exciting the scrum is in 15s
-
Furlong was clearly bothered by his hamstring and maybe more in that Boks when he came out early in 2nd half
-
The Great Dr Danie Craven gave us that wisdom when it comes to selecting a team, start with the tight head prop and his replacement, then take it from there 💪💪💪💪
-
Finlay Bealham is the unsung hero in this ireland team. Soft hands against France and South Africa for important tries and always fronts up when called upon, would have him in ahead of Tahi and Newell. Lions bolter

Great run down Tim, love your coverage and critique of all things union, you are one of my fave rugby channels. As someone else has said below, watching the 7s I realize what fun we’re missing with no scrums of substance! Wow just watch the Oz ladies demolish the GB team, the off loads, fends and support lines have been the major differences. 🤜🤛🏆❤️

Crazy thing with the ABz there starting frontrow might change to Tosi and Williams in a couple of years and i think both can play both sides of the scrum, its gonna be crazy to see 2 props at 6'5 and close to 150kgs and both run like mobile backrowers

Danie Craven said it

And on the eighth day, God created tightheads.
-
Fagerson didnt just play 80 mins in the URC final, he played 80 mins in the semis and 70+ in quarters the 2 weeks before

Shows the quality of front rowers out there that Taniella Tupou can’t crack the top ten. I agree he shouldn’t be there right now. After a rough season at the rebels plus, he’s out of shape. I blame the rebels for that too. I’d love to hear your opinion on where Alan Alaalatoa sits? Thought he was good at the Brumbies and has been a workhorse for the wallabies for years.

I think what you forget about Frans Malherbe is he also often controls the defensive line, more so now that Duane is gone.
-
Orsum orsum list. Still have a soft spot in my heart for Vincent Koch. One of my favourite games last season was the sharks v Clermont challenge cup semi. The scrum battle in that match was fantastic, and Koch really had to put in a big shift there
-
Love these videos Tim! Bar Fridges 😁
-
As a pairing I will have lomax and Newell Newell has a very big engine Ryan loves him
-
Props are a bit like heavyweight boxers. they can carry on a bit longer!
-
In the 2nd SA Test Furlong was suffering from an injury which restricted his involvement.
-
Thanks really enjoying this series. Also would like to hear who you have on the radar but not in the top 10.
-
Bello played extremely well against France - he could be on the list for sure.
-
Tameifuna & Antonio dropped off quite dramatically in the last 6 months or so. Bordeaux’s scrum got stuffed numerous times towards the end of the season. Probably still have both in my top 10 but towards the bottom of it. Will be interesting if they can bounce back next season at their ages.

Think newel should be up a couple places hes an absolute scrumaging machine and pretty good round the field
