[QUOTE="YKNGR, post: 157338"] As a loosehead myself, I'd advice you to switch to the loosehead. Why? 1. Weak ankle means you might not be able to handle the pressure from both hooker and the loosehead. Therefore you might collapse, or not able to push in the scrum as much. 2. Loosehead has much less pressure from the opposition. It feels more like playing flanker in the scrums, not too much pressure from the opposition. 3. As i am right handed, i bind with my right hand. I have much more balance in the scrum (no matt dunnings!) so collapsing the scrum wouldnt be a problem. Also to take note: watch where your going to hit in the scrums. I usually take my headgear off as soon as it starts to get in the way when im engaging. [/QUOTE]
