Hey guys,
So all my life i have been playing at #5 but due to injuries our next 2 crucial games i have been asked to move to loosehead prop, i am 6'2" i weigh in at 120kg's and during practice against the machine i seem to have no real issues but against our 1st team i really seem to struggle to get my head up thus causing my back to bend and occasionally it feels like the tighthead i am scrumming against is cutting off my circulation and i lose most of my power... what advice can anyone give me as well as some tricks and tips, our 1st game i will be scrumming against a much smaller player (5'8" 105kg).
As i say these are crucial games if we win them it puts us back into top of the log to hopefully win the league
Thanks
