[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 567097, member: 24910"] Yep, that is why I personally go for 3 hookers in a 30-man squad (I reckon a 26 or 28-man squad is probably more likely, but that is another story!). I'm not a prop (as I'm about 40-50kgs to light), but I would imagine they would have a bit to learn in terms of team lineout calls etc. I think we need to focus on picking the best squad possible (rather than just select players to give them a bit of experience in the squad environment). If they want to give young players a chance in the squad environment they should bring them into training squads. This squad should be the basis of the Rugby Championship squad, hence we should opt for a similar squad make-up as we will use there. Woodcock is becoming increasingly injury prone (and is in poor form) so I think we need to have both Crockett and Ben Franks involved. Indeed if the scrumagging laws change again soon with the 'hit' removed (which has been mooted) Crockett may well be our first choice loose-head by the end of the year! [/QUOTE]
