[QUOTE="saulan, post: 796996, member: 60236"] As a former lock we had this happen a few times with a hooker. If the alignment isn't right he would just pop right out. When we would go down and get into position, either the locks would be too low and he would pop, or it would be that the hooker wasn't low enough so the energy just forced him upwards. The lock should be positioned just below the glutes so that when they scrum down the lock is pushing forward into the front rowers who are leaning forward and low. If the front rower is too upright, that pressure can result in a pop up instead of the forward push. Is it also happening to your hooker? [/QUOTE]
