[QUOTE="Rich Taff, post: 743767, member: 68394"] My personal opinion is that if you're a young prop, you're far better in a lower division than playing against those in a higher division with more experience. Not because their ball skills etc will be better, but you're far less likely to get injured by someone who knows how to 'bore in' or collapse a scrum, and not get hurt. If you worry about your younger brother having better ball skills, may I point you towards Adam Jones. I think it was Michael Lynagh who said 'If you've got Adam Jones in your side, you bring him out for the scrums, then tell him to go sit on the sideline covered in cotton wool until the next scrum' (paraphrasing of course). The coaches comment about 'poor attitude' may have been in reference to your apparent lack of confidence, and just their way of trying to 'gee you up'. I've never played in the 'boiler house', as I kept moving further and further away from the pack as I got older. (I moved to the centres, then the wing and now I've now attained 'top tier of the millenium stadium' and decided it's my best position) [/QUOTE]
