[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 155623"] Well I`ll agree with training with the big boys, for sure. I cannot think of a better learning school for a young prop than seeing the way the Haymans, Sheridans and Visagies do things, their approach to training, the hours put in, the techniques required for sure. Plus, the whole culture of scrummaging can only do wonders in the long term. But what I was thinking would be more beneficial, at first certainly, is maybe playing in a similar age-group type category. I`m not too sure if the top GP clubs have got age-group teams? If they do, maybe playing at u/21 level, against blokes of a similar experience but different culture and emphasis will be great. Look, if it was any position other than prop, no problems with chucking the youngsters in with the big boys. But a young green prop could easily get hurt by an older, wiser, 35-year-old who has forgotten more than the youngster has yet learned. [/QUOTE]
