[QUOTE="danny, post: 157195"] On paper it's a good idea but it's not practical. What English club team is going to give a young Aussie on a short term contract the time of day over an English prospect who'll benefit the club in the long run? Very few would entertain such an offer, unless they were offered significant financial compensation. What they should do is bring in a specialist scrum coach, be it Mike Cron or an Argentinian coach who's well versed in the bajada method. That knowledge should be passed onto Australian coaches which can be carried forward as time goes on. Sending young props to England merely exports a problem in the hope rather than expectation that somehow it'll be fixed, while doing nothing to improve coaching at home. The same hold true for other struggling scrummaging nations like Ireland. [/b][/quote] got to agree snoop dawg. Why would some English club want an Aussie u21 prop who isnt technically good enough to benefit the team and hold the scrum up and wont even be there in a year or twos time. I dont think England have all the answers when it comes to scrummaging but they produce decent props due to the combative nature of the Guiness Prem. Australia need to look at their foward coaching and their emphasis on dynamic rather than effective fowards. [/QUOTE]
