[QUOTE="durbutter, post: 326181, member: 38137"] Don't every country have that 1m rule? Might it be scouts are looking for props who are as big as possible and contribute around the field, with scrummaging not a major priority. Also with schools rugby all about winning, would schools coachs not pick lads who are all power and little technique who win the hit and dominate better technical scrummagers purely on size. when these nplayers move up the ranks their size and power will be matched and neutered, and with undeveloped techniques they were slaughtered! Any opinions? any ex schools players out there? [/QUOTE]
