[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 1171921, member: 77204"] Its balance and the situation is a lot more nuanced, he might be hoping that he can hold onto the old props for another couple of seasons by which time a couple of the very promising prospects are ready, skipping a big gap isn’t ideal but he can only do so much with what’s available. I’m not really sure how one could really measure the success or failure of this, I mean if England start conceding scrum penalties, the alternatives would also be doing that as they have proved inferior in this area. If and when England don’t do so well we’re unlikely to sit here and say we lost that because our props simply were not mobile enough and too old. [/QUOTE]
