Today to be the complete package a prop needs to be mobile as well as being great in the scrum.
Props actually can run the ball as this video shows. Props are ideal ball carriers making hard yards. Add in a bit of stepping, swerve etc and they can do damage as they are difficult to bring down particularly by backs.
More is going to be required from top level props.
If you're Wilco and you're able to dominate even the incredible Oxe, you should start as much tests as possible...
Genge and Sinkler are two of your ‘new level’ props. They step like ballerinas and then there’s a scrum and they fold like paper fans. In the process they lost the WC and the last YE test.
I’ll stick with old level props like Ox and Wilco.
Of course you don't want props to be poor in the scrum. But they have to contribute elsewhere.
The great props will do this. Standards keep rising.
Beeno schooling the ignorant as per usual!!!
